Describe your jewelry style: Minimalist and Mixed media. I like my jewelry to be classy enough to wear to church, but with a little indie flair.

What is your 'must-see' TV show? Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Chuck, and 30 rock.

What is the strangest skill that you possess? I can fit several quarters in my belly button like a vending machine. Sadly, no candy comes out.

My apologies to Beth Blanc for accidentally giving credit for her piece, Crѐme Brûlé, to someone else this morning. I’ve just caught my mistake and fixed it.  More of Beth’s works can be seen in the Designer Highlight section of the February issue.

Photographer’s Favorites: Bead Trends September

I tried my hand at weaving seed beads over Labor Day weekend and now I can’t help but be extra-amazed by these beautiful pieces by Amber and Nancy. It’s a lot of hard work, but isn’t the end result so worth it? They’re gorgeous.

I also love the mixture of metal and vivid colors in “Black Ice” created by our September’s Designer Highlight artist, Stephanie Gore. She has a lot of stunning pieces to show off.

To see these pieces and more right now, check out our September issue online!
