Draw-lery and BIG news |

With the coming of Spring, I am reminded by many orders of Draw-lery, (children's drawing made into jewelry for Moms, relatives or friends) that Mother's Day is fast approaching, and our schedule is filling up fast! So if anyone you know would like to have a piece of Draw-lery made for Mother's Day, have them bring the child's drawing in soon and you will have it for that day!
And the BIG news from Michelle:
I have very exciting news, I have been selected, along with nine other area women professionals to be a mentor for the Young Entrepreneurs Program. Local mentors will be matched with YEP participants primarily on the basis of common business interests and ability to participate in program activities. This program is bringing Jordanians and Israelis together from a volatile region and is on the cutting edge of what is commonly called “public diplomacy” at the government level, or “citizen diplomacy” once people are interacting face to face. UW-Green Bay is honored to administer one of only three YEP grants awarded nationally. Mentors will dedicate some time to the YEP during the participants’ one-month visit here, and perhaps as part of the training team to visit both countries this summer.
Funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Professional Exchanges Program Organized and sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
The program director is Jay Harris, International Projects Coordinator

Tel: (920) 465-5145
I am excited and honored to be included in this project, and look forward to the unfolding of this marvelous adventure, which begins this weekend. When there is time I will be sure to blog about this experience. I have included a portion of an article from Women magazine below.
BEYOND OUR BACKYARD
Program forges ties with women
from Israel, Jordan BY TERRI DOUGHERTY
Female entrepreneurs from Israel and Jordan will visit Northeast
Wisconsin this spring through a program designed to foster
learning and friendship.
The Young Entrepreneurs training project will also give area
businesswomen the opportunity to travel to Israel and Jordan on
the state department’s dime.
“With a program like this the relationship building that happens
from a global perspective” is a major benefit, notes Christina Trombley,
director of the Small Business Development Center at the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. “Learning from each other can
be very energizing and very vibrant.”…

Wednesday, March 31 we will be hosting one of our local gem cutters, Gary McFarlane, for a trunk show!
Gary frequently travels to various places around the United States and mines the stones he later cuts and polishes in his home studio. He will be bringing a number of beautiful pieces with him to our store which will be available for purchase. Stop in, see his gems, purchase one for a "pet" or have us make you a new, lovely piece of jewelry. Gary will be in the store from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. Refreshments will be available.

Drusy Ring |

This size 6 Sterling Silver ring features a 20 X 17 quartz drusy. The drusy has several interesting aspects, first-the naturally clear drusy crystals have a vapor deposition layer of copper and secondly-the stone gives the apperance of two images, depending on which way you view them. One view(if you squint a little) is of a horse and rider while the other image portrays a running man. On a more symbolic and mushy note, when you look at the ring from the ends it has an O while the sides have X's. I have carved (and discarded) more waxes for this stone than any other one the gift has ever owned. Your pal in art, Al

This sterling silver ring is a completly spontaneous design that was not done with any particular client in mind. I found a wax blank that I started six or seven years ago. It was a large blank with a large seat carved for a moderatly huge round stone in the center. I remembered the two point five seven Citrine and the four- point four five bullit Aqua Marines wiggled in of thier own accord. (up-side down). This ring has patinated cross hatching and the shank has five piercings in it. I enjoyed building this ring and I hope you enjoy wearing it.
