Been deep into fall cleaning, reviewed, retired, put together a flash fall sale on a few things...and a fresh start is underway.
Pulled out and finally finished some old work from (wait for it...) 1991!
But I always work in cycles and often revisit older work to turn it into new.

But I always work in cycles and often revisit older work to turn it into new.
Completed a couple of pendants and a couple of earrings looking forward to the upcoming Santa Fe Recycle Show in November, and had fun shooting some pictures with my new phone.
Nothing is live online yet, but planning to launch in a few weeks.
Below a couple of the very first finished pieces, black and white newspaper cuttings on cardboard core.

Stained Brooches:
initial series from decades ago, stains and marks on silver, brass and copper.
some of these sold at jeweler's werk galerie/dc, but I can't remember when.
Stained Brooches:
all these pieces were very limited production, made just 4 of these, similar but all different, signed and dated on the back.
This is a flat donut shape in stained silver.
I know the w(h)earabouts of 2 of them, and I traded 1 for a beautiful dark red coat full of cut-out circles once with a fellow exhibitor at an American Craft Council Show in Baltimore.
One of the recent experiments, the Black+White Graffiti Jewelry line, is one-of-a-kind collection of 8 unique pieces, earrings and a couple of pendants.
Now my hands are itching.
I am playing around with initial tests on paper for a new series...
I cannot wait to put it all down on metal!

I am fully exploring the look and feel of this new Hearts.
Simple in shape, bright in contemporary colors, big and small, with medium in between and a couple of more style options....I am telling you, you can find your Hearts in this collection!

It's golden summer colors for these hot summer nights and days, and here is something to take along with you.
Despite the heat, these Hearts are very cool (and very light) to wear!

I had to start my day right this morning and wanted to post this shot of me wearing some of my latest new work: Big Hearts Earrings in black silver and a long black Simple Heart Pendant to match.
It's already hot early in the morning, so I am showing them off on a faded green top that has seen deeper colors...but you get the picture.

The new Heart Pendants are off the bench!
There are 3 sizes, under the name of the Big Heart Pendant - the large size, the Simple Heart Pendant - the medium size, and the Sweet Heart Pendant - the smallest of them all.
They all come in 4 bright finishes, on a matte black cable chain with an easy toggle and bar clasp, and in 2 lengths.

Have been working on some new pendants to add to my Free Form Jewelry collection and experimenting with different chains...many possibilities, but trying to pin down the best one!
I think I like this second chain, and in the meantime have soldered 4 different heart elements, ready for the finishing process.
Planning on having 3 sizes available next week....jump into my circle for first dibs!

This necklace went home last week, just around the corner..
This necklace keeps talking, in a constant dialog with itself.

I can't even remember how long the twisted+wires jewelry collection has been around...let's say, a couple of decades?
It started as joyful playtime with copper, brass and silver wires long ago, and it kept going strong, all these years.
After all the recent swirling changes and curved balls of life hitting the ground, I made a very resisted decision to retire this jewelry line from retail sales.
It is, after all, time to let it rest.

The going has been rough these past several months, waves of unfavorable events kept washing up my shores, making at times hard to contain the stressful residue of momentary discouragement... I have not been able to work at my work much.
Things are diffused in surreal moments in black and white, landscapes awaiting re-awakening through hands in motion, and a healing absence of thought.
I have not been working at my work much, I have had to tend to matters of life that kept me away from the bench, and away from the drawing table.
And yet, enduring these times, keeping the eyes on the prize, never letting go!

Short and sweet...how about some cool jewelry to keep things fresh, despite the heat?
Adornment in eye-catching hues...the black and white graffiti collection.
