Here’s a few new pieces that will be featured in the market . These items are all available on my shop as well.

BRONZE HORSE CAMEO NECKLACE- Hand-cast horse cameo pendant,  strung with matte black heishi beads and knotted with mustard silk.

BRONZE CLASP- Detail of hand-made bronze clasp.

MINI TRIANGLES NECKLACE- Textured triangles in blackened silver with tiny yellow gold jump ring details. One triangle hangs in the center of the chain and the other rests by the clavicle. Very sweet and sexy.

SHEEP NECKLACE- Tiny hand-cast sheep in blackened silver, strung with indigo seed beads. I made a mold of a model train set’s sheep, so he’s super tiny and the bright beads just make it pop.

MINI SQUARE POSTS- Textured square post earrings in blackened silver. Perfect for guys or gals.

ORIGAMI NECKLACE- Bronze hand-carved and cast origami pendant with blackened silver chain and bronze handmade clasp.

KNOTTED JASPER NECKLACE-  Hand-knotted Impression Jasper 6mm beads, knotted with teal silk and hand-cast braided bronze clasp.

I’ve been busy making new work for a holiday trunk show I’m doing tomorrow. Here is a new design using 6mm natural beads knotted and finished with a hand cast bronze braided hook clasp. I like wearing the necklace with the clasp resting on the side, around the clavicle area,  instead of the back of the neck. Bohemian Cool.

The December Store at .NO
Saturdays Only: Dec 3, Dec 10, Dec 17 and Dec 24, 2011, 12-6 pm

We are very pleased to announce the December Store, an artists multiples and small works store at .NO a Non-profit Art Gallery at 251 East Houston Street in NYC. Open every Saturday… in December leading up to Christmas. The December Store is the curatorial initiative of Vanessa Albury and Sörine Anderson. December Store comprised of over 50 NYC-based and international artists selling works. Inspired by the pop-up store of the Fluxus era and the notion that everyone should be able to afford to own art, Anderson and Albury have assembled artists within their own community to participate in this project. The artists range from writers to international curators, filmmakers to bookmakers, poets to perfumers, and bakers to painters. Many of the works are specially crafted for the December Store. You’ll find snow globes, masks, paintings, prints, jewelry, objects, hand-painted cards, audio and video works and much more for $100 or less. Shopping at the December Store will also provide support for .NO, an artist-run, non-for-profit which opened earlier this year.

Each Saturday a NYC-based artist working in performance or video will be featured. Video screenings by Ronnie Bass, Amy Granat and John Torreano. Performances by Rachel Mason, Jason Martin and special guests.

Come shop for some unique treasures, experience moving image works and warm up with some hot cider and sugar cookies with us!

So, I had a lovely surprise today in my studio. This is the amazing texture I happened upon at the bottom of a pyrex dish I use in my soldering station. I always mix a little baking soda with water to neutralize metal pieces I’ve torched and then pickled for cleanup. The water had evaporated and left the baking soda dried into this ethereal pattern.

I love it when I find beauty while working or really whenever. I’ve decided to use it as a background for an invitation to a trunk show I’m doing for the holiday season. It’s just perfect.

Braided Bow Necklaces from the Memento Collection. Comes in beautiful colors of teal, mustard and purple.

Contentment. Now wasn’t that worth it?

Custom designed ring using repurposed diamonds and gold. Mandarin Garnet Circle Ring with recycled White Diamonds set in Peach Gold.

I didn’t venture out for Black Friday, just worked in my studio. Gearing up for holiday craft shows and pop-up shops. Here’s a little noir number I made today.

NECKLACE: tiny matte black seed beads with accents of polished yellow gold seed beads, hand-cast Gritty Heart pendant and hand-formed S-Clasp.
