Hello everyone! Commissioned work is my favourite work ever. I've never turned it down. Until now. I have a full time job, and 2 commissions which should have taken 2 weeks each I've been sitting on for 6+ months. So I'm afraid for the time being I cannot take on any new work. :( Please know I'd love to work with you, but my schedule does not allow me to be fair to you. I will of course let DA know once I'm able to take on commissioned work once again, and if you are interested in something from me then, I will be delighted to work with you!

First- I'm going to Penland School for Craft for a two week immersion course on eyewear!  Deb Stoner will be instructing, and as it was extremely expensive and the studios never close, I mean to learn everything possible. Second- when I return I'll be creating a small line of jewellery to be sold on etsy under the shop name of Citadel Jewellery. Third- at the same time as I'm working on the line for sale I will again be taking small commissions.  I cannot do any cast pieces until September, but as I prefer construction anyway it is easily worked around.  So if you have something you want made for you please send me a note with your general
