The transition from salmon season to holiday season is officially underway.
The nets are put away, the cabin trips are slowing down, and my workbench has been running full steam ahead.
Fall and holiday shows are what I spend all summer preparing for, and I’m excited to finally share my upcoming schedule.
This list is mostly complete, but it’s not written in stone yet. If another good opportunity pops up, I may add a few more dates along the way.
Thank you to everyone who’s checked in, asked for my schedule, supported my business, and followed along this wild adventure of turning Alaska-inspired creations into something special.
I truly appreciate every purchase, share, comment, and conversation at my booth.
Now let’s kick off market season!

Limited Run (just like our salmon!)
These earrings showcase one of the things I love most about working with salmon skin: no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
The vibrant red and glowing orange inlays you see here actually came from the same salmon I caught myself from the beautiful stream in this post.
The differences in color are a result of where the skin came from on the fish, combined with the tanning process and curing times.
Nature creates the palette, and I simply highlight it.
Because these all came from a single fish, this is a very limited collection.
Once these pieces are gone, there won’t be another set exactly like them.
Wild Alaska salmon skin, Naturally occurring colors, and a new to me fishing location make these super special pieces.
Which color would you choose: the deep ruby red or the fiery orange?
I’ll have a few of these special editions at my next show.
The South Anchorage Farmers Market located Bell’s Nursery & Gifts this weekend 10/10/2026.
And stay tuned for my upcoming holiday schedule.

River Magic in Every Piece

There’s something about the river, the rhythm of the current, the quiet patience of fishing that feels like home. Every cast carries a little gratitude, every ripple reminds me why I create.

The same love that keeps me coming back to the water goes into every piece of jewelry I make. Each salmon skin, each lure, each shimmer of metal holds a story of Alaska’s rivers wild, steady, and full of life.

When you wear my work, you’re wearing a piece of that magic. I’ll be Double Shovel C***r Co. this coming weekend with a whole lot of that river magic in tow. Swing by, say hi.

Fishing season is winding down, and as I clean gear and hang up the rods and reels I’m feeling that familiar shift from long days on the water to long days at the workbench.

Salmon have always meant more to me than just a catch. They’re part of my year, my rhythm, my food, my memories, and the wild places I love. Every fish carries a story of Alaska ;the rivers, the runs, the seasons, the people who depend on them.

That’s why creating salmon skin jewelry feels so personal. It’s a way of honoring the fish twice: once when I’m out there catching them, and again when I turn their colors and textures into something you can wear.

This year is especially meaningful because, for the first time ever, I’ll have pieces made from all five salmon species.
King, sockeye, coho, chum, and pink each with its own character, its own beauty, its own place in our state.

I’m so excited to be back in markets again, sharing the part of Alaska that means the most to me.
Can’t wait to see you all soon!!!

My next market will be at the Double Shovel C***r Company September 19th, keep your eyes on my page for more details on my upcoming markets and shows.

Can’t wait to see you all there!!

Hello friends!!!
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery and I’ve been inspired by 907North Designs beautiful hat clips.

I had so much fun wearing hers that I just HAD to make some out of salmon skin to add to my designs.

Cabin Season has been full of sunshine, river days, and a whole lot of behind the scenes magic.
I’ve been crafting salmon skin hat clips that look like they swam straight out of an enchanted Alaska river.
Each clip has its own little spark, a shimmer, a wink, a bit of wild personality that feels like it was borrowed from the river itself.
I’ll have them at my shows this weekend and next. Come let one of these tiny river sprites choose you.

Hooked on Art & Alaska!

I’m reel‑y into fishing; and even more into turning those catches into creative treasures. Whether I’m casting lines or crafting lures into earrings, I’m always chasing that perfect fin‑ish.

There’s nothing like a day by the water to remind me that life’s best art is caught, not bought.

Here’s to cabin season, shiny fish, and sparkly ideas that keep me totally hooked!
