a few weeks ago i was in a desperate need for silver... so went looking for it. after rummaging for a while through old boxes, patiently awaiting review after the last studio move, i found a few old experimental cast pieces, tucked away in a small pouch. one of them, was untitled, a very tactile piece. it had a good weight to it. i had cast it decades ago, gifted it to my then 99 year old grandmother and gotten it back when she passed, a few years later. the sign was clear: time for some much needed transmutation! after due and proper ceremonies, here is what happened to 55 grams of untitled cast fine silver:
...and into these circle and stick pendants below!
a long stick and a circle pendant in brushed silver and a short stick one in black!
transmutation complete. (plus left overs)
also, now available in 2 lengths, with a choice of a 36" or a 42" black waxed cotton cord, depending on how you play with the sliders, you can go from a chocker bolo-style pendant to a long grazing elegant look.
and last but not least: the fun + function of it all! still looking for those glasses? now you can pair up a few things and have a colorful and stylish eyeglasses pendant for an everyday companion. and, in case you were wondering, the stick pendants work just as well, and with a touch of different....  Stick Pendants another touch of different so it looks like summer is on a roll again, heat waves, sunshine and sudden storms....and amidst rain-longings and desert openness, here comes some new work, ready to roll along, with it, in simplicity. starting with bright summer colors, a new addition to the twisted and wires line is just about ready to go, official launching happening next week, and cannot wait! in the meantime, a quick shot from the first batch of the NEW summer pendants in copper and brass finishes, complete with sliders to match and adjust to desired length on the black cotton cord.  NEW summer pendants: circle and sticks in copper and brass finishes adding to the bunch the brushed silver today - makes me think of full moons on summer nights...or simple blacks and whites.  circle and stick pendants on black cotton cord as for the black on black....been experimenting with 'shades of black', black copper, black brass. on silver is still the blackest. but again, still playing with it.... stay tuned. one thing is for sure: it will be black. it's windy around here this early spring. today actually it feels like winter...deep deep blue skies and chilly chilly air. but get ready, because the breeze is fading and it's time to let the spring sun touch your skin...  spring coming made me think of the dangling coil earrings, funky swirls of color to wear for springtime.
so many possibilities.
twists, turns and springy wires....happy springtime!
