SNAG Toronto part 4

I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More

"Regardless of concert, we could meet Saturday morning and walk into show together... I do want to show you the extra chasing tools at some point (hope I remember to pack them - note to self), in case you want any of them :) Here's my cell…"

"Im doing the standing room only on the dance floor at Santana. I stand all day at my work bench so standing through a concert is no biggie for me. Otherwise, after the show or the next morning we could have breakfast and head into the jewelry…"

Comment by The Justified Sinner on September 9, 2011 at 2:42pm: Quite lovely. Primitive yet completely controlled. I love the tension!

Comment by Julie Beucherie on April 16, 2011 at 2:20pm: Hi Joe,

Do you sell your stones? I'm always looking for interesting and unusual cabs.

Comment by JOE R APODACA on April 16, 2011 at 1:40pm: I think your work is wonderful and your use of texture and fused gold integrated with the cleaved stones contrasting with small faceted ones exceptional. I cut most of my stones my self and was wondering if you do lapidary as well? I have cleaved basalt and basinite and use natural growth lines on the surface of quartz crystals as well as Oregon Sunstone which is naturally cleaved as it breaks out of aluvial deposits which I mine myself. Look forward to seeing more of your work. Joe Apodaca
