gretchen's back

Yay!

 Gretchen Boylan is back with us again, with gorgeous new work.

She combines antique papers, silk ribbons, beads, old jewelry and sterling silver

to create miniature works of art.

They're tiny environments that seem to be

 of another time and place altogether.

Check them out this weekend, but come early, because they disappear quickly!
