2Roses commented on Aimee A. Domash's blog post 'I am having the hardest time with this word...goldsmith!'

We feel your angst, Aimee. Since we consider all materials and mediums fair game for our artistic expression, we usually refer to ourselves as artists. "Metalsmith" is simply too confining. We are just as apt to use a computer as a piece of metal, o…

An embarrassing little snag

Today we received an official notice from SNAG that the entry deadline for the Retro-Futurism show, part of the official Gallery Night Tour at the SNAG 2010 Conference, was being extended. Extended deadlines are almost always a sign that the show i…

Stevie, it is an Indonesian Pangolin. The animal is very rare and endangered now. This specimen was collected around 1930 and is a very high quality natural history museum mounting. It was given to me by a friend who found it in amongst a pile of tr…

The Aesthetics of Repulsion

A rising trend in jewelry/ornament design is the intentional use of a repulsive aesthetic. We do not use the term "repulsive" in a judgmental way, but rather as a descriptor of the artistic intent. To our knowledge, this is unprecedented in the hist…

2Roses commented on Elliot Gaskin's blog post '"Early machinery brought to life with a contemporary twist!"'

Absolutely love this series of work. We have collected 19th century mechanical objects and old books on mechanical movements for decades. The simplicity and ingenuity of some of these older devices, toys & tools, etc is astounding. You have recontex…

Again, it is the public's failure to value the arts that the ad IMO works so well for that mindset. I'm sorry I just don't see your argument about emasculation as overwhelming the overall message of the ad. We artists take things sooooooooo personal…

2¢ Earrings

We see such "amazing" offers on TV for incredibly valuable things such as ultrasonic tomato slicers and cleaning agents that will remove cat urine and whiten your teeth. And then so much talk about the new American fugality. We wanted to bring all of this into one easy to own package, so we are making this am… Continue

beautiful work--I especially like the gold woven bracelet.

If I can ask, how did you get an etsy mini on your page? I searched for etsy in applications but nothing came up.

At 3:48am on November 15, 2009, Montserrat Lacomba said…: Hi Corliss and John!
My name is from a black virgin found inside a cave on a very special mountain in Catalonia. The name has two parts, first "mont" (mountain) and then "serrat" (with a saw shape). If you like you can find more information in http://www.abadiamontserrat.net/angles/index.htm
It's funny you are interested in it!
Have a nice Sunday!

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you about the business advice you have given me, but I think that I am ready to start developing way of incorperating business practices into our studio project, so that I am on the same page with you, an example project could be as a class we are going to work with a client to develope seating for a new public area, as a class we will design and build several benches and you will go throught the commission process from conceptual drawing to finished product. I am sure that I am missing things like contracts but am i on the right track, hope to talk soon.

At 7:26pm on July 30, 2009, Griselda Elena Pena said…: I enjoy the humor in your images and the broad usage of materials that both of you use in your work. It was nice to learn a little more about you and your partnership through your web site. Great to see you two working together. Love the variety.

Thank you so much for your comment. It is wonderful to hear the words inspiration from the two of you. I hope to keep up the steam. Currently I am working on a piece that will be going to the Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, PA. Wish me luck.

Thanks again, Cheers
