I just finished the piece that I subconsciously made for my mom. A heart wrapped in a heart. And there she is perched right inside. I think she would have loved this.

I did a reel previously showing my work on it before it was cast. This shows post casting once I got the plaster removed to finished piece. I hope you enjoy watching the process. Leave me a comment if you feel inclined. 💕

Note: I used Hone and Highlight in my tumbler. It gave it a nice satin antique sheen. @rosyrevolver

I’ve learned that setup is everything when it comes to soldering. You often have to get creative and think through all the possible outcomes. Kind of like life. I soldered these small jump rings as a bail last night. I had to figure out how to prop them up securely with the seam on top, fluxing the jump rings as well as the three tiny pieces of chip solder, heat them with melting them, watching for solder not to flow where it shouldn’t (thereby locking pieces together that weren’t meant to be), and I’ll just say etc. because I’m sure I’m forgetting some things. Each time I solder, I learn something. The middle link didn’t solder the link closed, but considering the subject matter, I couldn’t linger with the torch to try and bring the solder across the joint. Plus it was hard to make out exactly until I quenched, pickled and scrubbed it. It may have worked if the joint hadn’t been tilted slightly downward. So I got it done this morning. Stay tuned!

If at first you don’t succeed…

How’s your Saturday going?

Asking which is your favorite piece is like asking

Asking which is your favorite piece is like asking which of your children is your favorite.

With each piece I’ve made, it becomes a building block for future pieces. I learn something every single time I sit down at the bench or soldering station. I’m showing a couple of my most recent complex pieces, because I learned SO much with each one. A shout out to Carl Stanley for introducing these projects in class that were so varied and multi faceted in their scope. AND I made SO many mistakes on both of these pieces, but somehow they survived and became finished pieces. Just like I’m not perfect and somehow survive events in my life that don’t break me but help me grow into (hopefully) a better and more conscious and experienced person. I’m very aware of my flaws and shortcomings, but I strive every day to become a better person.

Does your work do that for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts about it.

Day 24 is all about packaging. Since I have many little businesses, I’ve designed logos for each one, types of packaging, colors and everything in between. Here’s a sampling of what I do. I feel like it a good way to put your best image out there. And it’s a learning process to see what works. Is packaging important to you?

Thank you for any comments and likes. It really does help. 😊

Day 23 of March Meet the Maker is all about the people that have helped you on your journey. For my jewelry journey, there are many. I’ve taken classes with Carl Stanley for awhile now and have learned so much from him in so many types of jewelry making. I’ve also learned from Gary Elkins at the jewelry studio. During the pandemic, I looked for learning resources online and found Francesca Watson @jewelryinstructor It was so nice to find a ‘tribe’ again. Through her, I met Tonya Davidson @therealtonyadavidson Mind you, I’ve never met my online friends in person. Yet. I also discovered Charles Lewton Brain and watched all his videos as well as Lucy Walker. I’ve watched other videos of Mark Nelson, Kate Wolf, Ricky Frank and so many more. I know I’m probably forgetting a few! I’m so grateful to have both online and in person instruction. It has really helped me grow in my metalworking.

Who has helped you along the way?

Down the road from us. It’s rained again for the last couple days. I see we have more coming next week. When it rains, it pours these days.

Our hands tell a story about who we are. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever had beautiful hands, but they are one of my most important tools. So you know what? I love them. Not only do they put love into whatever I make, but they hold my loved ones, comfort those who are suffering, make some very creative meals, help me do my job on stage and so much more. So yeah, I’m okay with them not being glamorous. They’re part of what makes me happy and who I am. And I take pretty good care of them with my handmade whipped body butter, balms, serums and cold process soap that I make. They all keep my skin looking younger.

Not sure what I’d do without the use of my hands. I remember that when I had carpal tunnel surgery, I was a mess!! I felt so helpless. Have you thought about how your hands help you lately?

Thanks for letting me know in the comments! ♥️

This is a sad day. Mariam turned 15 today. She along with Abdu and Laila were kidnapped by their father a year and a half ago and are still out of the country. Please continue to send love, prayers, light, positive energy. 💔

Day 21 of March Meet the Maker is all about favori

Day 21 of March Meet the Maker is all about favorite companies. I’ll share a few, but there are too many to mention. I appreciate and am grateful for these companies for their support to artists of all kinds.

@pepetools_usa is a go to for my Haymaker saw, Nano Blades, disc cutter and GRS Benchmate.

@riogrande supplies me with unlimited tools and supplies like silver sheet and wire. Far too many to mention.

@halsteadjewelrysupplies has the best prices on CZ’s that I’ve found for forging ahead with learning stone setting in various forms.

@artessentialssb is a local company I try and support as much as I can. Especially for watercolors, watercolor paper, journals, alcohol inks and lots more. They also sell my greeting cards in my own rotating card rack. @chaucersbooks sells my cards as well.

@bulknaturaloils is my go to for soap and skin care products. They have great prices and carry organic products. Shipping is expensive but it’s worth their quality.

@onlinelabels is the company I use for labeling my products.

There are many more, but these are a few. Who do you support?

How do you define success in your life? Is it in t

How do you define success in your life? Is it in the traditional sense of receiving awards, diplomas and the like? Or does it go deeper within you to define what you feel is a success for you personally? For me, it’s the latter. Well, to be fair, it’s both. But these days I see things as more of a personal challenge. I tend to set a goal for myself and try to see it through. That gives me a huge sense of accomplishment. One of these is the CD that we put out. The CD took us quite a while to create, years, in fact, but I didn’t realize all the work that would go into it after it was released. It was another three years of marketing throughout the world to get air time. Every time. The inlaid cuff didn’t take years but it took many many hours. Each stone had to be cut to fit exactly where they need to be placed. And that was after the fabrication of the silver cuff, which was a big challenge itself. I consider these a couple of my personal successes.

thank you for the likes, comments, and follows. And I sure do appreciate it.

Day 19 of March Meet the Maker is Saving Up. A ball vise is on my list of things I’d like to have someday. I’m not sure which one is the most highly recommended, but I’m open to suggestions. It would make engraving and setting a lot easier. Both are processes id like to get better at. At some point, a JoolTool would also be nice to have. It does so many different things from lapidary work to polishing.

What’s on your wishlist?

Day 18 of March Meet the Maker is Colors. What palettes do I like? I can tell you that I love so many colors, but I tend toward blues (especially turquoise), greens and purples, but they are all on my palette. Some more as accents. Mostly these colors are part of my natural world around me. They make me feel alive. So I just went outside and shot a few photos.

What colors inspire you?

It is all so fabulous. I haven’t found a thing that I didn’t think was the best I have ever seen. Donna, you have an incredible talent. The scents and textures are absolutely divine!!!! I encourage everyone to buy, but then there would be none for me. What a dilemma! ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

I haven’t found a thing that I didn’t think was the best I have ever seen. - Santa Barbara, CA

I gave this soap to a friend as a hostess gift and she said, “How beautiful! Can I open it?” She thought it was a jewel box!

Soap or jewelry box? - Florida

Donna makes such wonderful products! Love, love, love everything she makes.

Love, love love! - Huntington Beach, CA

Thanks for making birthday giving so beautiful and easy! Can’t wait to actually touch the soaps. They look amazing on Facebook! And it occurs to me that I have a lot of people who could use a little Love from Santa Barbara.

Birthday giving – so beautiful and easy! - Santa Barbara, CA

I too bought this lip balm and love it. It is very soft and luxurious feeling. I kind of go nuts with lip balms as my lips are always dry and I am not a big lipstick person, so this is a wonderful find.

Soft and luxurious… a wonderful find! - California

I’ve never found a product that makes my skin actually glow. Since I started massaging your whipped body butter into my face like you suggested, then the hot wash cloth afterward, I have no more skin problems. I don’t need to go back to the dermatologist. My skin is GLOWING with health! Thank you!

My skin is glowing!

I’ve been using your whipped body butter on my dry, cracked heels, and they are no longer cracked but instead, so soft and smooth!

I love this stuff!

Just crazy about the colorful vibrant jewelry, especially the Funk Zone Necklaces and Donna’s new gorgeous lightweight earrings! I get so many compliments when I wear LOVE from SB items out and about – I also buy them for my friends and family as special gifts. The only drawback is, I selfishly want to keep them all!

Crazy about this jewelry!

Thanks for stopping by!
