Another day, another photography battle. Good news is I am planning on a better light source. These will do for now but I sure will be happy when I can capture the texture of the paper appropriately. These are part of a collection of jewelry I will be sending to a show in North Carolina in August, details to come!

I got this hot card today for the upcoming show, Hot Under the Collar, curated by Liz Steiner. Amy Tavern and Bob Ebendorf were the guest jurors for this exhibition. I am pumped to be a part of this show and even more excited that I will be able to view the entire exhibition at the 2012 SNAG conference!
I hope to see you there!

I’ve been busy! For now, enjoy this pic gifted to me by friend and talented metalsmith Liz Steiner a while back when I was knee deep in Sweet potatoes! Still one of my favorites and always earns a slot on my wall, computer and all presentations!

My creative process goes a little something like this: I clean, I piddle, I make a few things for people I care about, I write, and play a little more… Today I am researching the topic of shrines, amulets, and talisman pouches. I am getting ready to spend a little time in the paper studio, something I have not done in far too long!
A few days ago I was chatting with a friend and colleague about our beloved collections of things we made found and traded. In this conversation I mentioned how important I have found that keeping these items around me help me in understanding where I am in life and in my work. I used to keep old projects in a box in the closet or under the bed somewhere but in recent months I have found myself pulling everything out again and hanging them here and there. It may also pertain to the type of work I am doing these days but I can say that it has been therapeutic to see visually how my work has evolved and changed as I have.
Here is to a productive and creative spring!
