Summer has arrived and my latest collection is now live.  

This barnacle inspired statement necklace goes perfectly with your summery cotton or linen outfits and will make a statement.  

I think it is actually trying to say something!

Yesterday, I was talking tropical colours.  Today, let's talk hot earrings!

I am still on to the tropical colours - today it is grey out there, so the colours cheer me up.  

If you are actually experiencing hot tropical weather, earrings are a great jewelry choice.  They are not against your {sweaty} skin, like necklaces, bracelets or rings are.  

My two choices that add some bling and swing are the Majorca and the Catalina earrings.  Even the names are H-O-T!  How cheery is that?!

Soon, we will officially pass into summer.  That got me thinking about tropical locations.  

We have a temperate climate here, not too - not too cold.  So we don't experience the hot, tropical heat.  

What about some tropical colours instead?  Red for tropical flowers, like orchids. Greens for all the foliage of a tropical land. Golds, a warm colour for your jewelry.  Even though my pieces are bronze, they do have that warm gold colour. 

Umbrella drink anyone?

Often you see statement necklaces in a modern style, sometimes over the top.  But it doesn't have to be that way.  This triple stack of bronze beads is eye catching enough to make a statement.  

As you can see, my Martinique necklace goes with driftwood - that's pretty down to earth and organic.  

I even have these earrings to go with it.  Organic, elegant, yet bold.

As an artist, I have names that I refer to my series of pieces before I give them their "real" names, the ones that will appear on my website.

These ones are called "dangles", because the chain dangles from a bead.  Single dangles...

And double dangles.

I thought I would dangle some chain at the end of some beads and these ideas came out.  Mini plus small bead, perhaps for everyday wear.  

And small plus medium for more boldness.  

Or how about doubling up on beads?

I have been working on some new ways to bring my sculptural bronze pieces to you.  

I have been creating these coral like beads, carving them out in various sizes.  

And arranging them in potential earring designs, on their own or with steel or bronze sea shell accents.  

I am planning to release new pieces in the new year.  But for now, I will keep playing and exploring new designs.

My bronze pendants are versatile.  They can be worn with white or collars.

Or with a black scoop neck top.

And even with blue patterns!  These pendants sit on your collar bone, making them the perfect length to be both boldly visible and elegantly styled.

I had some time while I was downtown this afternoon to relax with a chai tea latte.  



I took my favourite Blue Q bag with me.  I love the bold colour and the bicycles all over it.  I always get compliments when I have it with me.  It makes me feel Elegantly Audacious.

I have been on my bike lots this summer.  This week, I passed many farm stands in the neighbourhood along a popular cycling trail.  

I am lucky to live in a place where farm stands and flowers are just a bike ride away.  



Aren't these dahlias bold and beautiful - elegantly audacious even?!
