Getting Ready for a show

I'm getting ready for a wine and art fest at Lemon Creek Winery in Berrien Springs, Michigan. I thought it would be a good place to bring these beach glass pendants out. Well, these and more metal-y pieces. I'm getting pre-show excitement already!

I'll be there all day Saturday and Sunday May 23 & 24, with my glass in hand!

Stop by and share a sip with me.

More Foldforming

Fold Formed Copper

I like this technique soooooo much! Some lines go over, some go under... I'm getting some ideas for finished pieces using this texture. Must play with it a bit more.

Prototype Bracelet

Playing around with a basic fold form, a student brought in an older magazine with a pair of earrings made using this fold and I thought it would be lovely on a cuff. Must play with it more, but I think it is a winner, just look at that raised edge, it's like an added element on top, it just begs to be felt and made in sterling. Oh boy I can't wait to try this in sterling!

It's official

I opened an etsy shop! Pretty spiffy way to offer my work on line. Keepin' life simple.

Stop by to see if I have anything you might be interested in.

Photography Workshop

I got to take part in a photography workshop last Saturday at Krasl Art Center with the fabulous Thomas Allen. The workshop was geared toward the artist wanting to get great representative shots of their work -- Just what I needed! I got to play assistant for a bit and boy oh boy were those lights hot! He had a wonderful set up and showed his process of capturing just the right image...He even helped me with natural lighting shots using my own camera. Shown are the lovely Michelle, me and the back of Tom's head-Ha! Photo by Lynne Tan.

Prototype Pendant

I needed a play day (a break from building stock) so I took one, pulled out an old sketchbook and made this up from an old design... I like it.

I'll play with this idea lots more.

I had to wrestle it off of my daughter to get pictures of it this evening.
