Just back from a lovely trip to the coast of Maine and was able to find some great tins.  Look for these in the upcoming months to show up in my jewelry.

Buying new tin for materials is wonderful.  I'll post a picture of the new finds shortly.

This lovely little tin was awaiting me on my front porch when I went to get the mail just now.  Love to get such great surprise presents like this!

It was from  the wonderful artists Theresa and Keith of  Unite Two Designs.  Check out the way they recycle!  www.unitetwodesign.com/

I guess it's all the baskets we use in the summer collecting veggies and the like that was the inspiration for the my latest bracelets.  Weaving the metal wasn't easy due to the fact if you tried to slide the pieces together you had to be quite careful not to slide off a piece of skin in the process.   I was quite taken by the result and will see where this new idea takes me.
