In the works! One really fun part about making jewelry is looking at all the beads and thinking about combinations and placement.

Of course the other fun part is watching woman try things on and decide they just can't live without a piece. JOY!!

Jewelry by Rose is now available at Velvet Antler in Marfa Texas. You can also find the collection at Filin in Austin and Sol'stice in Dripping Springs.

Making jewelry and other art is a passion of mine...obviously. But the work, process and creativity of other people totally energizes me. To that end I am opening my own boutique to showcase talent and creative experimentation. This is a huge leap for me and I am thrilled to share it with the wonderful community of Marfa. Doors open mid May so come visit!

Even with all the dust in the far West Texas a girl still wants something pretty to wear. Oh look!

I am getting more into the renewal of Spring everyday and working really hard toward new ventures in my creative and business life. Will drop that bomb when the time is right.

New Jewelry and SO much more in the works! More on that later...

Tiny flashes of green and a few flowers in bloom are showing us that the spring is here. Of course with almost NO rain the desert is still dry and yellow. But it is a yellow that glows with the sun and has its own beauty.
