It's been hot in the studio and the showroom progress slow, but steady.
In between several breaks, fans twirling and innumerable glasses of water, I think I have the final overall setup down.

Got all the recycled black rubber mats in place (which my blessing of a 4-legged companion seems to like very much!), putting the rest of my show and booth equipment to good use, have white canvas I can use for curtains and lights to assemble, and then...ready to go in July!

Having real fun with these new Black and White jewelry line and am adding a few more pieces for the official launch mid June on my online store.

Everything is one of a kind work, unique earrings and pendants, scribblings on silver, each piece signed and numbered.

My collectors list gets live launch link and an 'advantage' of 1 hour for shopping this statement Black and White Graffiti jewelry collection first over the general public...jump on board below to get yours!
This work was pre-launched and tested with just a handful of pieces for a virtual platform in May and it sold fast...

It's slowly coming together.
After more than a year of gaps, false starts, regrouping and simply stalling I rolled up my sleeves (it's also getting warm here...) and picked up the first piece of clutter - my tent weights, actually, that had been sitting in the front part of the studio collecting a lot of dust..

A little over 200 square feet, front part of my studio in industrial Santa Fe, high up on the mesa.
The building needs work and repairs, it's a raw live/work space I landed a few years back, after my last troubled relocation, it's a C2 also (meaning commercial​ zoned) so I could technically open up to the public...

I do not own the place and got weary of patching things up to near perfection (I know, no such thing exists) and so decided to make do with what I have, which is a lot.
Basically, I am setting up a comfortable booth space with all my tarp and display cases and lights (still have to pull those out) and they are many.

I still have a few things to relocate (what am I going to do with that fence?), but definitely building and playing around with my electrical conduit bits and pieces, and using my famous trash cans for display allure and actual storage. 
Not sure what the 'tower' on the right in the picture above will actually be...
For now it has a gong hanging on it, a memory of child fun at my grandparents house, the stick is missing the top part, but I know I have it somewhere and it will be fixed.

I am planning of starting my studio visits weekends sometime this month, I just need a few more touches in place before I can turn to the fine tuning...
Whether you live in town or visiting, I look forward to welcoming you to my showroom soon, sign up below for an official invitation!
