Jewelry Trunk Show at Hello Gallery in Fairhope

I've been invited to participate in a trunk show with several other artists at Hello Gallery.

You'll find me and a variety of other jewelry makers available at Hello Gallery on Thursday, Dec. 11th, from 4-7pm. We'll be there to answer questions and chat with you about our process. Of course, you can shop all the other amazing art available in the gallery as well. 

I'll have my newest jewelry pieces in the shop so that attendees of the show will have first pick!

If you can't attend the show but want to show your support:

• Share about the trunk show with your friends.
• Shop my offerings on Etsy. (I hope to be adding more soon!)
• Follow, like, comment, watch, and/or share what I make/do on social media.
• Instagram
• YouTube
• Facebook

And, if you can't help me out in these ways, consider supporting other artists or small businesses. Remember that when you do, there's a REAL PERSON on the other end whose day you're making!

I am sorry that I've been away from this blog for so long. I'd love to be able to promise that I'll be back real soon, and...I have hopes that I will. I suppose we shall all see!! Thanks for sticking with me. 

Finally, if I'm not back before the end of the year, I hope your holidays are fantastic -  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Let's see what 2026 has in store for us. 

A little something new

 I cannot believe it's been over a year since I chatted with you. I'm so sorry!

I'll admit that it feels like I've been pulled in a thousand different directions lately. I started a post back in February to mention my 100-Day project for this year, but that post fell to the wayside. And, honestly, the project has dragged a little.

Let's see...if I want to get this one up, I should try to keep it short.

I'm starting a Patreon account!

To begin with, I'm only setting up one tier in order to share my ICAD (Index-Card-A-Day) videos and some free printables. However, once I get the hang of it, I may add other tiers with other offerings to it. If you're interested, you can check out my Patreon page. You should also be able to search for me as CraftyHope there as well. 

And, let me know if there's something you miss seeing from me! 

For more information, the Index-Card-A-Day challenge (ICAD) starts on June 1st and runs through July 31st. This challenge comes from Tammy. You can learn more on her website, Daisy Yellow, or on the challenge's Instagram account. You'll be able to find all the prompts and themes and all that jazz. As well, Nina Fickett has her own Mixed Media ICAD Prompts that you can see on her Instagram account. 

(All the cards pictured here are ones I made last year. Check out the 2024 ICAD Playlist.)
