They're BAAACCCKKKKKKK

Back by popular demand...my Steampunk Collage Pendants! Out of the studio and listed on etsy.

I'm trying to work on them in small batches, as we've had a very fussy little man lately. Sam's been diagnosed, at 6 weeks old, with reflux. He hasn't been sleeping well so that means very little studio time for me!

I will spend the next two weeks finishing up my spring line and getting ready for our first show. Maternity leave ends on 3/1, so I'm trying to get a jump on everything!

New today at Simply Willow

Great new materials for inspiration!

Fun new pieces!!

Gotta love that Michigan weather!

Its cold here in rural Michigan today with a chill that goes straight down to your bones. But, the weather forecasts are suggesting that we could see temperatures of 40 degrees or higher by this weekend.

What is that old adage? If you don't like the weather in Michigan, wait a minute --- it will change!

Until the temperature does warm, my studio surrounded by all of my new steampunk jewelry bits and bobs seems like the perfect place to hibernate.

Ghiradelli creamy hot chocolate, anyone?

Simply Willow in the News!

While i was away...a wonderful thing happened! I was contacted by a reporter for the local newspaper -- the Kalamazoo Gazette. He was doing a series of features on local artists, would I be interested?

WOULD I? It took about 5 seconds to decide that yes, of course, I was interested!


The interview was done over the phone, a photographer came out to the house the following week. The result? "Steampunk Jewelry reflect "Dark Romance" of Victorian Era"

A huge thank you to Simon Thalman and the Kalamazoo Gazette!
