    Hello Brigitte! I hope this email finds you doing splendidly!

    I'm wondering if you would entertain a call regarding the content of my fourth book (second with Lark Jewelry & Beading), (working title) Wired Together. WT is a compilation of wearable jewelry works between myself and over 30 artist collaborators. Lark (Sterling) has just notified me of their intention to cancel the book.

    The good news is that much of the content is complete; the better news is that I have some really, really wonderful pieces by the likes of Charles Lewton-Brain, Lorena Angelo, and Ken Bova, to name a few.

    I'd love to investigate a possible partnership between myself and my collaborators with Crafthaus. Would you care to dance?

    I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

    oxox!
