The Fruits of My LASER Cutting Adventure

Some of my fresh cut shapes on the LASER cutter after the scrap material was removed

LASER Cutting 101 with Phil Renato Part 2

I made shapes and lots of 'em in 22 min and 2 seconds!

Today was a great day! I spent the morning with Phil learning about Adobe Illustrator and how to prep my designs for the LASER cutter. Since this is a short visit, we decided to focus on small designs that would be great for earrings or simple pendants.

Artistic Luxury: Faberge, Tiffany, Lalique at the Cleveland Museum of Art

I just saw this AMAZING exhibition, Artistic Luxury: Faberge, Tiffany, Lalique, at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The show is fabulous. It features over 300 jewelry and luxury items by these artists. It's the first time since the 1900 World's Fair that works by Faberge, Tiffany, Lalique have been exhibited together. These three were rivals and with each piece they tried to surpass one another in design and opulence.

The museum showcases each master's work in seperate gallery spaces… Continue

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn

John Lunn replied to John Lunn's discussion SNAG Toronto part 4 in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft

"It is a good article. It's a bit disappointing that the 3 artists they interview are men when it was so obvious that 90% of the Trunk Show exhibitors were women. I'd like to do a blog or two on the influence of women in the arts and how it…"
