Exciting Recent Press

The November Issue of Metalsmith Magazine has a fantastic review of my February 2009 Featured Artist Exhibition at Facéré Jewelry Art Gallery (Seattle, WA.) This is one of the most exciting press features I have ever received. I'm so humbled by this wonderful review - in the magazine that has inspired me since the very beginnings of my interest in art jewelry. So thrilling! Big thanks to Judy Wagonfeld, the author, and to Karen Lorene of Facéré as well.

(ps. How intense is Doug Bucci's foot brooch on the cover?!)

My work also appears in a two page spread of the newly released 1000 Ideas For Creative Reuse book by Garth Johnson (pages 114 and 115) available for purchase online here.

One last little bit of press to share… my work appeared in the Swiss Newspaper 24 Heures

Kind of funny that all three of these featured my Smiley Neckpiece (…Psst! still available for sale here.)

And finally, thanks to my loyal readers/fans for your patience while I took my hiatus from blogging to get through the past couple of INSANELY busy months in preparation for the upcoming holidays. We will be returning to our regularly scheduled blogging now, so be sure to check in for the latest. My annual holiday giveaway contest is just around the corner and you don't want to miss your chance to win! This year's prize was determined by the votes on my facebook fan page: a necklace! You'll need to be a fan to win… (hint hint)

a break

I'm now officially in the home stretch, busy preparing the new work for my solo show. So I've decided it's best to take a break from blogging for the next month or so (including the photo-a-day posts) so that I can really focus all of my energies on the work. Wearable Nostalgia opens December 5th at Luke & Elloy Gallery in Pittsburgh and I am still not quite ready just yet… yikes!

I'll be picking up blogging regularly again December 1st, but for now I bid you farewell. As always, thank you so much for all your support and encouragement, and for following along with my blogging adventures… it means the world to me!

Snowflake Barbie Hanger Ornaments

I made a couple prototypes and am really happy with them… can't wait to make more! I'm having a lot of fun. I do wish I had more colors to choose from, but sadly it's just pink and green. Also, I thought I would be able to make a whole bunch to sell for the holidays but it turns out I won't have nearly as many hangers as I thought I had, since each ornament uses eight Barbie hangers. Oh well… they will be extra special limited edition ornaments I guess!
