I am inspired by the magic of fantasy. I imagine my creatures in a misty woods tending to their gardens and watching after their young. I picture fairies dancing in the trees. I love all things fantasy but have a soft spot for trolls. I think they are very misunderstood, lol.

My favorite troll recently sold which was very bitter sweet for me. He is my avatar pic. His name is Benny. So I will post a pic of my newest troll. His hair is delightful!

I draw a lot of my inspiration from nature. I use mostly natural stones, pearls, shells and art glass in my work. I'm inspired by mythology, fantasy, and fairy tales. The Goddess is also a big part of my work. I don't really know why I'm calling making jewelry my work, it's more like my joy. I can get positively giddy when the Muse is upon me and ideas are flowing through me.

This new zine is inspired by the vast spectrum of fairy tale artwork which has illustrated Grimm's fairy tales since their publication in the early 19th century. It's fascinating how the style of illustration varies over the decades:
