Do you like cats? Do you like larger earrings? If you said yes to both of these questions then you'll understand why I'm smiling in the last photo! These sterling silver earrings are 2 1/4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide and there are cats running under a full moon (hammered discs). These aren't feather-light but I wouldn't call them heavy. They don't pull on my piercing at all. The cats are handsawn and soldered to semicircles that I raised with my dapping tools, they're not flat. There's a lot of texture on the semicircles and discs from my hammering and the patina gives the design some great areas of contrast. The earring hooks are sterling silver and wirewrapped closed. The loops of the wire arches and the jump rings connecting the arches to the cats are all soldered closed. Look for these and many more cat, nature and animal designs next weekend at @paguildofcraftsmen show at Ludwigs Corner. #sleepycatjewelry #catjewelry #catearrings #sterlingsilverjewelry #ooakjewelry #yesiAMtheartist #pgcfcf2022 #njartist #silversmith #metalsmith #rusticjewelry #runningcats #Ladysmith #jewelryartist #opthandmade #handfabricated #largeearrings (at Ludwig's Corner Show Grounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9fF7aO_Sp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you everyone who shopped today. If I missed you today I hope I'll see you tomorrow. Show hours are 10-4. Look for me in the Haverford chapter booth, #356. I'm still so excited about no sales tax in Delaware! #sleepycatjewelry #pgcfcf2022 #yesiAMtheartist #opthandmade #makersgonnamake #catjewelry #ooakjewelry #artisanjewelry (at Chase Center on the Riverfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgp71RGuTr5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Warm sunshine sparkling on cool blue waters just brings me all the happy feelings and I think this combination of citrine and variscite captures it perfectly. The 2 stones are set in bezels on sterling silver. The disc under the citrine and the metal surrounding it have hammered lines to symbolize the rays of the sun. The pendant measures 1 inch long and 3/4 of an inch at its widest. You choose the length of sterling silver chain. I have this on a chain that has patina but I'm happy to switch it to shiny sterling if you prefer. I will have this design and so many other one of a kind pieces at the @paguildofcraftsmen show at Ludwigs Corner on June 25 & 26. #sleepycatjewelry #yesiAMtheartist #pgcfcf2022 #sunshine #sunonwater #sunsparkle #summer #summerjewelry #variscite #citrine #Summerday #sunandwater #Beach #inspiredbynature #getoutside #natureinspiredjewelry #njartist #dayatthebeach #silversmith #metalsmith #benchjeweler #ooakjewelry #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1IEoxuAv7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is miserably hot outside so I am especially grateful that next weekend's show is indoors with air conditioning! Come join me and over 100 other artists at the @pacrafts in Wilmington, DE. I have so many new designs to show you like this horse necklace I created to coordinate with the running horse bracelet. Both are handcrafted from sterling silver. #sleepycatjewelry #pgcfcf2022 #yesiAMtheartist #horsejewelry #horsenecklace #horsebracelet #equestrianjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #ooakjewelry #silversmith #metalsmith #rusticjewelry #artjewelry #arttowear #njartist (at Chase Center on the Riverfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZl8oOOcuf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Seven years ago I was accepted as an emerging artist at the @pacrafts show at the Chase Center in Wilmington, DE. This year, I'm finally back! I'll be sharing a large booth with artists from my chapter, Haverford, of the PA Guild of Craftsmen. For comparison, I have a photo of my booth as an emerging artist in 2015 and then a photo of my booth at this year's spring show in Haverford. Over the next couple of weeks I'll share photos of some new designs I'm bringing with me! I can't wait to see you there, July 30 & 31. It will be indoors and air conditioned. :) #sleepycatjewelry #yesiamtheartist #pgcfcf2022 #thatwasthenthisisnow #silversmith #paguildofcraftsman #jewelryartist #njartist #OOAKjewelry #madebyhand #makersofnj #makersgonnamake #metalsmith #ladysmith #artjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/CgC-Z9Crro_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
