In the press
Where my work has turned up over the years, newest first.

A studio table full of the work
They asked me to bring the collection in and talk about it on air, so I packed the busts into the car and set the whole table: shells, shoelaces, birthstones, the lot. Watching someone pick a piece up and put it straight on is the part I never get tired of.

Style Makers
Kathleen McKenna asked about the beginning, so I told her about my grandmother Patricia, who everyone on the water knew as Bluefish Patty. She gave me her old tackle boxes to keep my beads in, and she put a seagull into her paintings for my grandfather. That gull is in my logo now.
The piece also gets into the lost wax casting I learned at Rhode Island School of Design, which is how a shell or a twig ends up as a pendant, and into the birthstone necklaces, which I wear myself for my daughters.

Life and Work with Kerrin Falk Forsyth
Read the interviewA long interview about the road from a stand at the end of the driveway to doing this full time, and about what it actually takes to keep a small business and a young family going at once. It is where I said the line I still come back to: no one else in the world will carve something out of wax the same exact way I do.

Unique. Versatile. Stylish.
My Denver years, and mostly bridal work: sets made for a bride and her bridesmaids to go with the dresses. They asked what I liked best about running my own thing and I said the freedom to make my own hours. They asked who my role model is, and that one was easy. My dad, who can pull a few things out of a dumpster and turn them into something gorgeous.
