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! Comments are closed.

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
