But, there’s more...I have some exciting news! I just received word that my art is going to be on display in a special exhibit called “The Collective” this January at an art gallery--WOW! I am super-excited...more news to come at the first of the year.

Many of you probably saw these domino necklaces that I created earlier this month....

You can imagine how happy I am to enter it into the challenge....These are each intricate pieces created with gel medium and metal adornments....I adore wearable art and no two are alike. There are some in my Etsy store too.
