    wow Melanie – you’ve been busy. Your site looks great – I love the “inked” bangles and the Louise earrings are yummy.
    Kisses and congrats.

      Congratulations on the feature, Melanie! You really deserve it. Your face canes are great (as is the etched work)

        Oh, Cynthia! You have made my day – no, week! No, Month!! I am so honored to be featured in PCD. Many, many thanks!

        And thank you, Loretta, for your kind words, my dear. 😉

        So… does any body want some face canes? It seems my muse over did it, and I have way too much! Seriously! lol

          Ach, you jumped in before I had posted my first comment… so, a belated thanks to you, my dear. You are very sweet! 🙂

            What a beautiful voice in clay! And fabulous use of color. Whimsy and sophistication and pure creativity. Bravo, Melanie, and thanks for getting my day off to such an inspirational start.

              Wow, Melanie….a huge Brava! to you. How very cool to see this new direction (well, several new directions!). As Ronna said, it is so inspirational to see new, unusual and interesting art from someone who already had a ‘look’. You go, friend….if I have the right to say I’m ‘proud’ of you, then I’ll say it….I’m so proud of you!!

                Melanie, it’s so great to see a fresh take on face canes! And like others I love the fun and bright etched earrings. Your trip to Europe this summer has really spurred you on.

                  Beautiful work as always, Melanie! I’ll see you soon!

                    I already hearted (Etsy speak) the face canes. I’ll try to snag an Etsy Treasury – my theme will be “faces”, just so I can feature your beads! Love them!

                    (for those not familiar with Etsy Treasuries, check them out (222 of them that change every 2 days). They are an awesome reflection of the talent that lives on Etsy:

                      So great to see you here Melanie. I often read your blog and wish I could have made it to Camden for your show. Beautiful work.

                        Gorgeous stuff, Melanie! I’m partial to the chunky beads in your necklaces, and of course the glorious colors in your cuff bracelets. A feast for the eyes, for sure.
