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!
Another month almost gone, so much on the bench, having a hard time splitting myself between the (ohh, too many!) things in progress in trays, scattered all over the studio. But this is an ongoing-mode, as I seem not to be able to avoid it...wanting to do it all, yesterday. Today some quick notes on my studio treasure hunts of old work, have been re-shooting each single piece and adding some 'contest' and settings as visual connections... One of the WATER pin set, hand scribblings on silver, pinned to my black woolen sweater and a book that connects the two. I have recurring themes, sudden yearnings of making things done before, visual references and source of inspiration for the new. Pre-launched five pieces for the Black+White Artico show ending this month with great response, above a quick shot of the Black and White Graffiti Earrings 5 - one of the pieces still available at the show, as of today.
Got very excited about this new work, so have added another tray to my pile...got some new chain for some new pendants for the graffiti series...will see how fast I can clone myself. These go back a long while...1990, to be precise. The writing on metal is not completely new to me, like these fun experiments with scribbling and marking and punching brass, copper and sterling silver into wearable wall pieces. So pulled out these out of storage and thinking (maybe) of putting them on the online store later this summer. Each set is 3 wearable brooches, each one you can wear on yourself for a very sculptural and unique jewelry statement. When not on the body they are a stunning piece for the wall in an art-loving home.  Water: a 3-pins wall piece in sterling silver and brass, with scribbling, green patina on brass and random piercings.  Earth: a 3-pins wall piece in hues of copper and brass, with scribbling and random piercings.
ok, we are here. september already right? as i mentioned in one of my last posts, there is a closeout jewelry sale coming! my long-lived twisted and wires line is thriving and kicking, but i have done some late summer cleaning (at last!) and will be retiring a few pieces this month. everything will be between 40 to 60 percent off...just giving some heads up. below today a preview of one the pieces in the closeout sale: coil pins in vermeil    only 2 out for grabs...stay tuned to be alerted when the sale launches!
as a subscriber of my collector list, you get to shop the sale two hours ahead of everyone else and you don't want to miss this, things sell out fast! so, sign up and check your email these next couple of weeks when you'll get your exclusive link to the sale!.... sometimes we are prepared, sometimes we are not... so it's time to pin something down this fall, time to not let it all blow away... time to do it in a bold way, time to do it in daring contemporary style, time to do it in vivid colors. so, advice for everyone to be ready for the gusts of fall, the scarf that blows over your shoulders, the pin on a lapel you have handy, to keep it all in place.  just playing with jewelry and combinations of color to be in tune with this month, had fun playing with putting colors together, a black+orange line-up came out of it and is the main theme for the rest of the month.  all i can see is black+orange and nothing else seems to stick to mind...  a couple of weeks ago while looking for silver to melt, i found more treasures! a few pieces of experimental work and 'studies' in sterling silver and 18K gold from way way back. bit is one of 3 pendants i pulled out from that re-discovered pouch and refreshed by sliding it onto a simple black cotton cord, complete with 2 tube sliders to match for easy adjustment of length and pendant style.  and, going through my note books, also found the scribble i wrote at that time, apparently documenting the process along with the frustrations...!
among the pieces in straight 18K gold are these earrings below, in quick pre-view  18K gold half moon earrings with fancy black onyx so excited to rediscover these pieces of my past-making! so, as a summer round-up, i decided to put together a black+gold collection studio sale and have been working on the final touches for the sale launch on august 24! and, if you are in town on sunday/august 26, i am having my last august studio visit weekend so plan to swing by for a chance to see everything up close and experience it in touch. These are the 2 comics paper pendants out of the 3 of a one of a kind series from quite some while ago. Experimental and very playful pieces, guaranteed to strike your fancy...  comics paper pendants These and quite a few other unique pieces are on a 48 hour ONLY winter cleaning studio sale event - sat/feb 10 and sun/feb 11. Not to miss!
 Bringing these pins back, minimal jewelry statement pieces from my popular twisted&wires collection perfect to pin things down this new fall season!
Take a stand and make a powerful statement, right on you, on your winter coat (it's coming), your warm woolen scarf, your hat.....or pin this piece to the wall to impress your house guests (you will!) with wearable wall art! |
jewelry notes from the bench
Hi, welcome to my jewelry blog!
I make simple, colorful and bold jewelry for a contemporary ageless and fun style. Have been doing this for quite sometime...pretty sure this is what I want to do when I grow up! Here I jot down thoughts and notes and pictures of work in the making, both in my mind, on paper and on the bench. for bench updates and exclusive previews... archives
