Where did the weekend go?! It went into making these two baubles: one cicada pendant and one glass cabochon blossom ring. My curiosity to play with the color blue has been satisfied! #sciart #handmadejewelry #cicadas

This bug is of of my favs! I etched him in brass but haven't colored him yet...You are inspiring me to finish a brooch!!

We still have leftover reception cards from our 2005 wedding. The paper is way too luxurious to toss, so I’m using them for sketches…Hoping to incorporate a little more of my illustration in my jewelry designs. #makecicadatime #illustration #jewelry #handmadejewelry #sciart

Thanks Lisa!!!!

Awww thanks so very much!!!

I do!! It’s jenielizabethjewelry.com. They are about an inch wide… definitely a perfect size for a pendant or pin. I need to add them as items in my shop. Probably will get to it this weekend

Thanks so very much!

Thanks so much! There’s quite a few more defects but I was running out of room! Hope your son is doing well!!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I’ve had hearts on my mind, and just happened to finish this patient education poster on congenital heart defects. So many hearts! #sciart #scicomm #medicalillustration

Here come some in progress shots of my anatomical scrap hearts for trinket boxes, pendants and pins. Hope to have as many of these done soon, These are each one of a kind, handmade from vintage and upcycled materials! 1 box is in the @vesaliustrust valentine auction! #sciart #medart

This is right up my alley. Amazing work @dadrummond.bsky.social !

Thanks so much! There are never enough cicadas! 😊

Here’s what I have been working on after hours - another moth in a new collection I call Nocturnal Spring. This one is made of stainless steel with sterling silver and set with a 4mm rose cut labradorite. #sciart #makecicadatime

Taking a super fun sand casting class at the @baltimorejewelrycenter this weekend #makecicadatime
