Robin of helenapuck is a busy mom of two, an active professor, and a multi-talented artist.  She's an accomplished cross stitcher as well as a jewelery artist.  I always find it interesting when people are able to combine two, seemingly unmeldable (don't think that's a word...) mediums into one.  Needless to say, because of that, I was caught by this piece:
Inspired by a Charlie Brown story (recognize his shirt?!), she took two strands of thread and stitched across.  She framed it with a sterling plate pendant, to top it off.  

You can find more of her cross stitch here, including some of her amazing patterns like the one below.
Her jewelery designs range from quirky to cute to interesting to wow, with a few other adjectives thrown in there. ;)  One of those wows is her Copperhead Road set.  Totally hand-forged and fashioned, this piece is just amazing, to me.  The loops and whirls are so perfect and pretty, and it gets even better when you see the elegant, hand-crafted clasp.
