Toes finally dipped in to smithing again. It feels like starting over from the beginning. That means a lot of cussing and a short day. But tomorrow will be better. I'll be back at it regularly in no time! #startingover #backtothegrind

She snoozes while I am struggling with sketches for a couple custom orders. I don't even see her scars anymore, and honestly, dogs with teeth look strange to me now. She definitely rescued me right back. #GingerTaurusTheElderbull #rescuematters #adoptdontshop #staffie #afternoonnap

Where I've been, where I'll be

If you somehow missed it, I did my first ever trunk show last weekend! It was super fun, and I really can't thank the Downtown Winston-Salem arts community enough. The weather was dreary and cold but people still came out to wander the arts district and see what was out there. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful and I got so many fantastic suggestions for venues galleries that I can't wait to see everywhere I'll be headed in the next few years! 

But where can I meet you, Lily? 

Great question! I have a couple definite places I will be, and some up my sleeve that I'll let you in on soon. 

Next first Friday is May 6 and you can rest assured that I will be at Tattoo Revival again, from about 6-10 pm. They also have a selection of my jewelry in the display case, so you should totally stop by, welcome them to town, and try on some of my stuff!

Tattoo Revival is at 631 Trade St in the Arts district of Winston-Salem, NC.

Sunday July 10 from noon-6pm I will be at a super fun little shindig called the Homegrown Artisan Market. It's a monthly gathering of local artists that happens at The Blind Tiger in Greensboro. They have live music, a bar, and a food truck on site, so plan on making an afternoon of it!

The Blind Tiger is at 1819 Spring Garden St in Greensboro, NC. 

See you sooooooon!

I pretty much only do enamels for shows. Come by and see what these grow up to be at tomorrow's #firstfriday #galleryhop in downtown Winston-Salem. I'll be in the company of other artists far more talented than I at @tattoo_revival so come by and say hello to us all! #dtws #handmade #handmadeinnc #keepitlocal #supportartists #lovelilyv

My first trunk show is tomorrow!

I am super excited and a little nervous! The wonderful folks at Tattoo Revival in Winston-Salem have invited me to be there for the gallery hop that happens every First Friday of the month in the arts district. I'll be set up to meet and greet and sell my jewelry, and I'll be leaving a selection behind at the shop so that even if you miss the show you can still stop by to see my jewelry in person. 

The irony of my first trunk show happening on April Fools Day has not escaped me. 

If you're in the area and you've never been to a gallery hop, now is the time to go! I hope to see you tomorrow!

Bound for infinity?

The infinity ring is too unstable at sizes above 9. Binding it like the butterflies and the Gloria ring is the perfect solution. Still has plenty of give, but it won't just bend all over the place!

My very own webite is now live, friends!
