Trinkets Jewelry Trunk Show at MCAAM

Trinkets' Jewelry Trunk show at the MCAAM was a success! I was so honored to be the featured artist at the show.  I was also proud of my 21st Century jewelry-making classes at Cedar Shoals and Clarke Central High Schools in Athens, Georgia. The students have been studying Africa and working on their portfolios of tribal and statement jewelry.  Many of their pieces were sold at the show.  The classes have partnered with the Museum to do two more shows in February and May.

Trinkets' 21st Century Jewelry-Making Class in Partnership with Morgan Co. Museum

  The Trinkets' 21st Century jewelry-making classes at Cedar Shoals and Clarke Central High Schools in Athens, Ga are partnering with the Morgan County African-American Museum for a Jewelry Trunk Show. The event is planned for November 16 from 3:00-6:00 at the Museum beside Madison Markets in downtown Madison, GA. There will be tribal jewelry that students have made while studying Africa and its people and culture. There will also be jewelry made from the recycled paper beads made by the women and children of Uganda. The funds from their beads provide housing and medical care for their families. This is a wonderful opportunity to start your holiday shopping!

A Group Effort at MAG...working together on an Intuitive Painting

For the past few weeks, I have been getting together with a group of ladies for Open Studio at the Monroe Art Guild. We decided to work on a group project...an intuitive painting. Sue Grilli and I had submitted this type of art for the MAG Summer Members' Show. Susan Pelham had two large canvases so we jumped right in with paint, tools, paper, sponges, and anything else that came to mind. The paintings are still evolving...but, I had so much fun working on these. I am going back to teaching and won't be able to finish them, but I have a feeling they will find a permanent place in the MAG lobby.
Stop by MAG and see the finished products...

                                              First layers of the first canvas...love the colors!
