So, I've been drooling over Megan Auman's jewelry for over a year now. I "met" Megan last year when I applied for graduate school at Towson University where she teaches. We spoke a couple of times on the phone when she interviewed me. I wasn't familiar with her work before I applied, I was more familiar with the work of Jan Baum who is the department head there. I looked Megan up on the internet and found that I loved her work. I was really impressed by her drive as an artist, and I also felt like I could relate to her more easily because she was a young female metalsmith doing exactly what I want to do in the field. Megan was part of what inspired me to get on Etsy and start a Blog and has been a big influence on me. She is someone that I look up to in the field and has been very helpful to me even though I did not end up at Towson. The point of all this is that I really admire Megan as an artist and have wanted to own some of her jewelry for a long time now. My birthday is next week and I decided to get these earrings above for myself. I love them and have been wearing them everyday!
You can check out Megan's shop here. Her work is really gorgeous!

I discovered megan auman the same way! That's funny :) And I did the same thing for my birthday, but I bought myself a bangle!
She's an amazing artist :)
Love, love, love her work. Good for you buying yourself such a special present!
love these rings!
Meg Auman changed my life! A couple years ago, she was a presenter at a SNAG conference's professional development workshop. She was, then, on the cutting edge of social media. And I grabbed onto what she was telling us & ran with it. I will always be grateful that she told me what I needed to hear.
