Happy Mother's Day
If enjoy art jewelry or are looking for that special Mother's Day present I hope you will visit Virgo Moon where new work has been posted including an Agate Fairy Self Portrait Necklace. There is an extremely delicate Diamonds in the Rough Necklace, a very bold Spiny Oyster Necklace and other work as well. All are shown on my Available Work page, I do hope you will come by for a visit! I also offer gift certificates, please reply to this email if you would like information on this option.
I hope you've noticed there is lots of information on the detail pages for each piece I make: The materials and dimensions are listed next to the photo but sometimes people don't notice there is more information on the page. They often write to ask the price-- if a piece is available, the price will be listed right below the photo. Otherwise it will say "sold" or indicate it is available through a gallery, etc. You may have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of your browser window to scroll down to see the pricing information and the remainder of the information (position your cursor over the scroll bar, click the left mouse button to "grab it" and slide the bar downwards). Under the photo you will find a short essay about the piece which you might enjoy. Finally, at the very bottom of the page there may be links to Amazon for the books referenced in the discussion.
In other news, I feel very honored that my work has been included in Margie Deeb's newest book, The Beader's Color Palette which you can pre-order by clicking the link. I haven't seen the book yet but feel confident that it will be as valuable a reference for every artist (not just bead artists) as her previous books have been. Her exploration of color is extraordinarily helpful. The Amazon ratings for her two previous books are 5 stars. I don't know which of my pieces she has included though there is one of my necklaces in the second preview and another in the third preview which you can download from the link. I can't wait to get the book myself!
