Alice, I love your entry for Signature Work - Part 2!!! There are so many exhibits on the 'books' that Part 2 is a bit away. But getting entries now really helps me so I can put yours together in my spare time.

It is not easy to identify one's own signiture work. If I had to pick a piece that was representational of who I am as an artist, I would probably pick one that had the following qualities: humor, color, realistic subject matter, symbolism and a communicative message.

keep me in the loop! I have several wonderful pieces that I feel really express who I am as an artist and a person. If you are looking for submissions just give me the word! Great collection all around though, beautiful and unique works of art.

The Justified Sinner posted a blog postWhat Have I Been Up To?
Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…See More
