I'm excited and honored! I've been asked to come down to show my jewelry to the members and guests of Desert Mountain Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's their semi-annual Golf Demo Day. I've pulled together a more elegant arrangement to display my pieces, all cool black and silver. Will keep you posted on the happenings!
Been working with Tory on the website and the blog, and with Thailand on the individual pieces. I'm so excited about how things are evolving - just taking the next step. And who knows where the road leads!

My path today.
A resident of Bainbridge Island, Washington, since 1997, Lucia Olson lives in a lovely 1916 yellow farmhouse with her family, a menagerie of animals and a 1951 Chevy pickup named Jessy.
Open the door to The Little Yellow Farmhouse and hear the sounds emanating from Lucia’s jewelry workshop: torch hissing, hammers ringing and tumblers rolling.
Appreciation for the natural and the handmade began
at an early age for Lucia. Her Vermont grandfather was
a Master Woodworker and Lucia spent many happy hours
down in his shop. Watching and learning, coming to respect
and have awe for the process of creation.
Her formal training began at Stanford University where she received her degreein Art History. Studying across time and cultures, she learned how different processes were developed and pours them into her work. Lucia enjoys the freedom of letting the silver flow and reticulate as it will, gently guided by the heat of the torch. Each piece is unique, echoing nature and the creative process.
