Hi Islay,

I'm curating an online exhibition called "Piece Progressions" and would love for you to be a part of it. I think your varied materials would add something really unique to the show. You can see details of the exhibition here: http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/crafthausexhibition/forum/topics/call-for-entries-piece?xg_source=msg_mes_network

If you have any questions feel free to contact me; it would be great to have you as part of the exhibition!

I bought the oak brooch for a very specific piece but it has turned out to be too big! Who can say where it will lead...

Islay,

I spoke to Simon and his mum at the weekend. He was delighted with the coverage you gave him on your blog and said to thank you very much.
I bought a Victorian bog-oak brooch from him, to be incorporated into something of my own, no doubt.

You commented a while ago about my necklace - I made it last spring. Thanks for looking!

I have seen the new EIP, but only a quick glance. I've been letting all the publications pile up for the last 4 months...Don't know why...Too much internet? I will get to them eventually.

I did notice a few familiar names from this site so I'll need to look at the EIP soon and send congratulations :)

Thanks---about the color :) I use it when I think it's needed. My mind has been trying to lure me into a 1 or 2 color thing...Silly mind.

I'll never look at a bicycle inner tube or auto body shop the same way again.

Really enjoy all of your work, and the horse hair mourning necklace looks great!

That Chain So Crazy!

Note: I've been working on this blog post for quite a while now, and I'm honestly not sure it's going to make any sense, so good luck reading!



One of my favorite things about jewelry is it's role as a communication device which turns the wearer into a billboard expressing the wearers beliefs. Traditionally, jewelry also doubles as a portable…

The New York SOFA show was last weekend, and I was thrilled to have my work taken to the exhibit by Sienna Gallery and The Opulent Project. TOP organized a display called COSTUME COSTUME, which featured handmade contemporary jewelry by emerging artists who deal with the subject of adornment, costuming, and jewelry. TOP installed a photobooth in their space so that attendees of SOFA could…

I am so excited to have my most recent round of documentation back from my photographer, Maureen Keaveny. The images came out wonderfully, and she really did a wonderful job capturing the essence of the pieces that I've recently completed. I'm most proud of the series of knuckle dusters that I've been working on, which feature bezel… Continue
