Enameled Hatpin #5. ©2010 Peggy Foy

Happy Holidays!  What a whirlwind the last few months have been. For starters, my sister got married in October (congratulations Jeanne and Brian!) — since then it has been back-to-back craft shows, trunk sales, and most recently a few commissions for holiday gifts.  Featured above: the latest installment in my* enameled hatpin series.

Also, in early December, I took a little time to photograph more of my recent work and launch my Etsy storefront, found at Arcanametalwork.etsy.com.  Check it out!  More to come there too.

I’ll be tinkering with this site over the next few days.  Hopefully I’ll be able to avoid major gaffs, but for any RSS subscribers out there, I’m doing some site maintenance so please pardon any misfires.

*I feel obliged to note, this series is an homage to renowned enamelist and author Linda Darty; these pins are based closely on a project from her book, The Art of Enamel — with some modifications.
