Eilisain aka Lisette in Gaelic

Welcome to my blog, where I document my process in making jewelry, muse on the influence of art and the joy of making beautiful objects.

A bit of Cabin Fever?

Back in December the Washington City Paper posted that they'd be holding a winter Crafty Bastards - how exciting and timely as I'd been discussing it with another maker that they should hold two events a year, maybe three.

It's such a fun show and Crafty Bastards is one of my best shows so of course I jumped at the chance to participate again.  As you know I love going back to DC and participating in events like this, I get to see old friends, customers and other amazing makers.  The full vendor list is here


And the great part is it will be indoors at the Hecht Warehouse in Ivy City.  You can purchase tickets here.

Solid silver


I finally cast a solid sterling silver owl talon ring.  Silver is still pricey and since I'd been doing so many castings with bronze, I just didn't get to it. In addition I usually keep the shank/band simple but I had a special order from a Redeem customer, and I'm quite happy with how it came out.

And I'm also happy with the photos.  I used Photoshop and WOW, what a difference.  This ring is also available for custom orders on my Etsy shop!

Eilisain jewelry now sold at Lawrence Miller and Company




Another great gallery I'm now selling my jewelry at, Lawrence Miller and Co. located in the great shopping district of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C.

I've known Tim and Lawrence for quite awhile now, I worked there four years ago before I came to Greenville to attend ECU and I learned SO much.  We met taking a metal raising and forming class at the Art League.  

These guys are masters at repairing silverware and jewelry, and I'm really honored to be selling in their gallery.

As I always do, I recommend that if you are in their neighborhood visit them, they can fix almost anything and they're quite entertaining to be around!

Here's a preview of what they'll have on sale:
