Spring cleaning is in the air, regardless of the weather showing otherwise and the world longing for peace... I reworked these earrings below, made them even more irresistible than before, and so so light to wear! Of course, big is key, and all the colors they come in. But most importantly, they swing! The Season of the Heart continues and it's full-blowing...and I have to admit, I resisted the hearts ALL those seasons! But not anymore, today I am out of the closet and I bring hearts with me! Been enjoying myself in the studio these past few weeks, defying the cold, no firewood, and the broken space heater that sat next to me, nonetheless, pretending. Can you resist them? Didn't think so...
I am obsessed now. So cannot resist to let you in in another quick peek into my studio doings... More Hearts coming...in vibrant colors to warm yours!
The beat starts live on Thursday/February 3rd in my online store.... Not much into hearts, but have made a few in the years past. Looking into my slide folders (remember those?), I just re-discovered a full selection of them, earrings and pins and pendant and necklaces...Played around a bit with a cheap slide scanning app on my phone and here's a couple of shots, all sold long ago.
And then there is this one, possibly the most precious of them all. Sister to the copper one above and the only one left from my hearts experiments, this is a stunning necklace with strong impact. It has a heart pierced in sterling silver, it has that bite in warm yellow 18k gold to accentuate the piece with memory, and it all hangs from a sterling silver snake chain, with a sterling silver toggle&bar clasp for no-fuss wearing.
Try and play and dare a bit! We made it to the end of another year, dense, intense, complicated, so stressful at times... So now we play: lots of fun with these Play Rings! Showing off your unique style continues this month with this coiled fun on the lapel of your winter coat. Or a hat. Either way, you are sure to impress! Gotta say thees are really fun to wear, they are sculptural, big and light to sport on a coat, a warm thick scarf, or a cozy hat! A bold jewelry statement for these current twisted times, pick yours on my online store, various finishes available. Don't skip a beat, as always...
October is the month to hold on to your hats! These minimal and colorful pins are perfect for the job! You can pin one or two on a scarf, a hat, play with different sizes (you can choose from 2), and have fun this month! Head to my online store to see them all!
Went up the mountains the other day for a walk, hiking over ridges and under huge sunburned rocks, wind twirling through cottonwood falling leaves, stark simplicity and in tune with the turquoise sky. A Bar Neckwire for Fall, conveying essence in simple lines of color. These are very simple and minimal necklaces on a sterling silver cable, a perfect colorful pairing to a changing season, and an optimal piece of jewelry that impresses even on a winter and fall outfit.
See all the available color options on my online store! I sat at the bench for a few hours this week and made a ring. Nothing fancy, just experiments in simple designs to add to my twisted and wires collection, but I did lose myself in all the possibilities, making rings has always been one of my favorite pieces to make. And then lost myself even further when I got a picture of this ring below, and and couldn't resist a little dip into memory lane...  Ring for Gesticulating Hands (1998) - george post photography This ring is long gone. A dear collector from Arizona took it home with her years ago...
As far as the new experiments in simple ring-making, stay tuned! It is July and it is Summer, at last... After a scattered Winter, after an indecisive Spring, we are smack in the middle of this year and pushing ahead. The bench has been crowded, new work waiting to be completed and new orders ready to go. This week I took a look at the Slices collection and while the new additions are still a bit hesitant and awaiting the final touches, thought these earrings below could be the perfect match for bright Summer pairings.
The Square Slices Earrings in yellow brass are happily bright and ready to go when you are.
Choose between 2 different sizes and celebrate this Summer in bright colors! |
