I’ve been away from the studio for so long now I can’t remember the direction I was headed in. I guess that’s one of the downfalls of the subsistence lifestyle we’re pursuing here — there are month long distractions that drag me from my work and routine while we’re working on securing our food for the year. Robbie is rolling out on a muzzle-loader elk hunt for a week or so and I’m going to use that solo time to dig in deep, curl my toes down into the earth here and remember how to be a silversmith who speaks for herself and The West.

      Hi Tom!

      Ernest, our great pyrenees puppy, now weighs 85lbs and is currently sleeping on the lawn in the light of the sunrise after working hard guarding our farm from predators last night (as he does every night). He’s doing really well and we’re lucky to have him.

    It used to be when I hadn’t ridden for a long while, that settling back into the saddle again felt like a sweet, whole body homecoming. I feel the same when returning to the studio and lifting my hand to etch onto fresh copper. Remember that your experiences while away will inform and energize your new work. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
