You may (or may not) have noticed I’m sending this email on Monday and not Friday. And thus begins a change to the Copper House North Weekly Roundup. Since July, my creative energy has been shifting toward a new love of video and, most recently, animation. The change has been incredibly exciting. I find myself wanting to spend ALL my creative time in this way. 😯 The intent of this newsletter has been to add value to your life in the form of beauty, creativity,…
I almost didn’t write this. It’s Friday at 7 a.m. as I write and I normally write my newsletter on Thursday, at the latest. I didn’t think I had much to share.

You know it’s Christmas-time when the mums are swapped out for festive topiaries and red bows at the grocery store. This week I created 1 new stop-motion animation made entirely with paper and inspired by the release of the movie Wicked: For Good today. I loved the original movie so much I’ve just been waiting for the next one! It’s one of the rare movies I’m planning to watch in a theater, with a good friend. Here’s the animation:
This week I made 2 more stop-motion animations, where I tried a new technique with each one.

And possibly in all of my creative career. Here’s a…
This week didn’t go at all the way I planned. But it made room for something completely unplanned…and wonderful. You see, Chad came down with a cold mid-last week. And we usually do a great job of not passing viruses to each other. But not this time. By Saturday my head felt like it was underwater. And that meant recording for my YouTube channel (with the camera pointed at me) was postponed. Again. At least, I…
Hi – this is me. I just heard on the radio a pet zebra is running loose in TN. 🦓 🤣 It’s also the perfect segue into something that’s been on my heart: hair…and our perception of beauty. I’m regularly told I look younger than my age. I’m 48, closing
It’s official: Copper House North has a space at All in the Palms Salon Studio in Cumming, GA! Jannell (the salon owner) has this beautiful, rustic cabinet and thought it would be the perfect place to showcase my work. She was right! As of today, there are 7 pairs of earrings, a
A page from my watercolor sketchbook 2 years ago, while I was having my curls pampered by Jannell at All in the Palms Salon Studio. In her salon, she has small, ceramic houses with copper-colored roofs that always catch my eye. When I drew this, my creative tank was filling
It’s been the sweetest week as I finished cleaning and organizing my jewelry studio and started making things again. My biggest fears were quieted (would I remember how to do any of it? Would my tank explode when I turned on the gas? 😉) as my hands and heart remembered
