The Hands in Handmade

The alchemical combination of human hands, intention, and skill infuse objects with qualities that mechanical reproduction cannot replicate - call it soul, life force, authenticity, or presence- it gives objects life.

An Honest Update

An Honest Update

As many of you already know, I'm in the process of opening a new shop in Friday Harbor. I've been giving myself lots of space and time to allow it to come together in a way that doesn't feel rushed or stressful. That said, I think I've wandered into a bit of a dead end.

Oaxaca

Oaxaca

Ahhh....Oaxaca. You know that sensation you get when you visit somewhere that just feels totally familiar deep down in your cells? Even if you've visited a place several times, but you still can't explain the profound sense of knowing it.

Tucson Gem Show 2024

Tucson Gem Show 2024

Hard to believe it's been over a week since I got back from the Tucson Gem Show. As much as I try to stay on top of my accounting while I am at the show, there is always so much to do when I get back. Every purchase has to be catalogued, beads have to be counted, prices have to be calculated, and vendors have to be recorded. It's a lot of work! But worth every minute.
