Happy Friday!

I’ve been scheming a design that has the ingredients to become not just a “signature design”, but a one-of-a-kind keepsake and totem for you!

After moving west, I find myself reminiscing about New England, where I developed a love for nature and my rootedness with nature…only achieved outdoors. Inspired by this awareness, and combined with my passion for creating wearable connections to our primal need for nature connection, curiosity with finding souvenirs in the woods, and many years of capturing it with pen and watercolor, I want to introduce…

The n’Capsuled Series!

In a very built-up world, I hope for these new n’Capsuled necklaces to be a wearable totem, that beautifully encapsulates the ingredients we need to stop time for just a moment - transporting us outdoors - to a sprinkle of a warm memory - whenever and wherever we need it!

 Each pendant features an (approx) 1.5” original watercolor painting (yes, teeny brushes), by yours truly. These detailed paintings are then snuggled in Sterling Silver, and protected by a clear glass cabochon dome. Because of the time to achieve painted detail + fabricate, I’ll add new ones to the shop periodically, inspired by recent outdoor adventures of course!

…but it’s not all about me!

Because of their keepsake-nature, these will be a custom offering as well! We’ll work together, painting a detail of your special memory, to revisit every time you wear your n’Capsuled necklace 🫶 …Just no portraits. You don’t want me doing portraits.

Until I iron out details for custom offerings, here are the two I am close to finishing today, and will be the first to hit the shop!

(And the finished pieces in the first picture are the first three I made (inspired by recent Bloom Boom series), and did so as a birthday surprise for my Mom and her two sisters!)
