Bamboo Serenity

The pendant was water etched on Precious Metal Clay. The toggle clasp was created with impressions of rosemary leaves. The strands were created with fresh water pearls and Thai silver.

Mondrian in the Spring

The fused glass plate was inspired by Mickey's daughter’s (Victoria) third grade class. She had given each student a 4 inch white tile and colorful squares and rectangle. Each square was fused and applied to the edge of a mirror for a school auction. While Mickey watched each of the students create their own personal work of art, she was inspired by the variety the children displayed. When Mickey completed the frame, she then used the extra squares and rectangles to create this beautiful 10 inch square plate.

Third Place - Artist's Eye Juried Exhibition, June 2007

Bamboo Basket

The ring was water etched on Precious Metal Clay. Mickey is intrigued with Japanese brush painting. She studied several pieces of bamboo paintings and then applied what she saw to her own water etchings of bamboo.
