Vacation to Arizona Ignites Creativity

Sandy and I finally took a 2 week vacation for the first time in years!

We went south through Nevada to Arizona and visited many hot art spots, like, Jerome, Phoenix, Sedona and Scottsdale. Seeing many different types of art and different media in different towns was not only educational, but inspirational. Those of us who own our own businesses often forget to stop working and not only relax, but learn from other artists. Being in nature, seeing mountains that look so different from our huge vertical peaks was what got Sandy really going...


We'd had a custom order for an Arizona pendant right before the trip. What an amazing piece! It took a lot of thought to get all the elements arranged in a way that matched the client's vision. The pendant is sterling silver with copper pots and a 14kt yellow gold crescent moon and measures about 1 1/2" in circumference.






So now, since we've been back, Sandy's created 2 new Arizona pieces - a man's ring and a pendant. Haven't photographed the pendant yet, but will post a pic soon.
