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 Latest Activity

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient
For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
New: Indiegogo Campaign to bring US jewelry to Europe!
Please support this effort:
A group of 10 young US jewelry artists will attend Sierrad this Fall showing their work to the European market - and bringing back exciting info for all of us!

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 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.

Thank you SO much for your comments on my work with Fordite! --I never imagined I'd be using such a material in my work--but resistance has so far been futile. ;-]
I'm totally in awe of YOUR work!
I look forward to seeing you around!
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.
