I have been working on this mural since late August. If all goes well we should be installing this coming Sunday. This has been a very educational experience for me, a labor of love. Wish us luck hanging it!

Hello, so its been forever and a day since i updated this blog. I have a goal and of course it includes keeping my blog up. Lots of news to share, but for now I will just post this pic of my booth from the latest art show I did. I now have a fancy schmancy new banner. I hope everyone is doing well, and if I keep up with my goal I should be talking to you very soon;)

Alorinna ..a metal smithing queen

Hello all, I know it's been a while and I was rather M.I.A., but I am back and I wanted to give you a heads up on this super duper etsy shop.

Alorinna http://alorinna.etsy.com/

Cate(the creative force behind Alorinna) is my JET (Jewelry Etsy Team) partner. She handcrafts all her jewelry out of metal and wire. She creates some really elegant and timeless pieces. She incorporates copper, silver, and natural gemstones such as peruvian opal in her work.

The picture to the right features one of my favorites pair of earrings from Cate's Alorinna shop. They consist of hammered copper and contain the word "dream" on each of them....truly an uplifting message.

For the month of July, Cate and I have teamed up to help promote eachother's shop. So during the month of July anyone who purchases from both of our shops gets 20%. Leave a message in the notes to buyer stating that you have purchased from both shops and we will send you an updated invoice.

Oh one more thing that I find awesome about Cate is that she shares my love for animals. She is a vegan and donates items to the Etsy for Animals shop. So please stop by and check out her awesome shop and beautiful work.

Yo can also find her on the web here http://alorinna.blogspot.com/
