Several months ago I was contacted by Christen Olivarez of Stampington & Company. She had seen some of my work on my Flickr account and wanted to feature it in the Belle Armoire Jewelry Spring issue. I had never been published in a magazine before and so was extremely excited at the opportunity. I had hoped to get just one of my pieces in the issue but to my surprise they featured FOUR in the magazine! My jaw hit the floor when I saw how gorgeous the pictures were.

Taking pictures of a magazine was a challenge so please excuse the sloppy photos. So, "What's Yet to Come?" Who knows. More publications in the future? I hope. New techniques and surprises? Of course ;)
Congratulation! You go girl!
