Here’s a new series of necklaces I’ve been working on: Timeless Necklaces. Using clock faces that have been collected from antique or vintage watches, stripped of their mechanisms, hammered and smoothed to hang on artfully draped delicate blackened chains, these are like little artifacts. I love that they look a little bit industrial up close from their age and hardware, and yet they look very dainty against the neck and because of their components, they are so unique. I’ve even saved one for myself! (I made a promise that I would be better at not selling ALL of my work. Especially since lately, I get asked all the time about the pieces I wear and if I made them… and often times the answer is something like, Well, no, I bought this in Argentina… or Actually, this particular ring I picked up from a flea market…etc.) Pictures:
Each of the necklaces come in a special gift box, you can purchase them right here. ***Don’t forget: this is the last day for free shipping on everything else listed at supermarket!***
The documentary Who Does She Think She Is? will have a screening tonight at Seattle’s SIFF Cinema. A film that asks the question—“Can women be artists and mothers and wives?” —and answers with a resounding “Yes!”
The public is invited to view the National Invitational Postcard Exhibit,which opens on April 24, at the Bridge Gallery in Las Vegas City Hall, located at 400 Stewart Ave.
This exhibit was organized by inviting artists from across the country to create a postcard image about the state or city in which they live. Artists were also asked to recommend one or two artists in states other then their own.
The artists have a diverse approach to creating their postcard image both in medium and concept. Some have made images of their natural surroundings, while others looked below the surface to convey certain social and local issues. The wide variety of two-dimensional mediums in the exhibit includes photography, collage, metal leafing, painting, printmaking, digital prints, ink and various other drawing mediums.

Today I’m the featured interview at the great new website The Tools Artists Use. I’m among great company with artists of all types of backgrounds and talent. Thanks Bill!
In hispanic folk culture, these small silver or gold votive offerings in various curious shapes are often attached to statues of saints or to the walls of churches. Literally meaning “miracles” in the spanish language, they are the physical representation of a wish or a prayer. I’ve brought these charms out of the dust and into the modern way, to bring good luck, happiness and prosperity to all who believe in their fascinating past…
The gift of an eye milagro helps to say, “you are a vision.” A pair of lungs can say, “I hope your cold gets better.” An arm could represent strength, an ear could suggest that someone is an excellent listener… the list and ideas are unique and special to the recipient or wearer.
Each are knotted onto a woven metallic thread from Belgium and hung with a brass bead from South America. Presented in a glossy black gift box, tied with ribbon and gold tissue with love, this makes a perfect gift for anyone. Get them here, enjoy!
