Can't remember who took these shots, but you can see some new Recycled Paper Magnets in the back...

And these two shots from the El Zaguan event on Canyon Road, the garden was a beautiful colorful refuge, just a level above my booth setup, but forgot to take some pictures.
But anyway, work on display with a full collection of Recycled Paper Earrings swinging in the summer breeze and the Recycled Paper Magnets in prominent position.

Booth shots and closeup of some Recycled Paper Pendants...

Added new smaller ones and sticking them on a metal board, shifting them around in various combinations.

Three big magnets are ready to stick to any metallic surface and hold some things in place.

I call them the matchsticks because they remind of spent matches and are all from recycled yellow brass, sticks and pieces laying around in the studio.
The come in 2 lengths, some are a warm lemom-yellow finish throughout, some are all black brass, some are bi-color, or dipped.
They are just a handful, a limited production of simple pieces.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but special simple.

A couple of shots from my last little market experience, testing it out...next, I need to find the white tarps I had somewhere for better walls.

Despite the 'elsewhere', this year I will be stomping some show ground again and curious to see what it will bring after quite some time of no stepping out. I will be staying in the neighborhood and have started with RAM, the Sundays market at the Railyard here in town. Check out my events page for dates and time

Booth at the Sunday market at the Railyard, indoor.
Yes, it's warm and cozy...!

I thought of calling this collection the 'Sanskrit' series, as most feature strips of paper from an old book on Hindu  iconology I saved from a fire in Oakland a long time ago...

Recycled Paper Tube Pendant 003, Recycled Matchbox Paper Pendant 005, and Recycled Paper Tube Pendant 004, all out of recycled paper printer rolls, matchboxes and strips of paper from books and magazines I have been collecting for years and finally found some fun recycle ideas and transformed them into jewelry!

These pendants are all different, they hang on a black brass bead chain and are signed, dated and numbered.

Old matches paper boxes, strips of paper from magazines and old books (these date back from my Sanskrit and Indian Arts studies...maybe I should call these the Sanskrit series?) shaping it all into pendants and earrings.
Every piece unique, I am just flowing with the flow here.

Materials and tools, main aid the old press inherited from my grandfather (I remember seeing it as a child sitting on an old oak table in his lawyer office, walls filled with books and 'pratiche' (clients files) he would organize, press and bound with strings in alphabetical order on floor to ceiling shelves.
Such a precious gift, a collector's item, a sturdy, high quality piece of equipment I am so grateful to have!
