Yeah, I know. Weird right? Who would want to do jewelry about that?

Well that's my newest series and I'm sticking with it!

This piece was finished in December of last year and I haven't been able to get in the studio since then :( All my sketches and ideas are done...Some rings, cameos, necklaces all ready to be made but I haven't made the time. I think I've stalled. I just need a nudge, a gentle push, a kick in the arse to get me going once again.

I hope by posting it to the masses (that's you!) I may be inspired to get back to making.

Going to SNAG!!!

2010 SNAG Conference, "going to eXtremes," Houston, TX, March 10-13, 2010

Only part of me is actually going to SNAG this year. No, not that part! I'm not done with that part just yet. Though I am getting older and thinking more about quite walks, holding hands, and companionship...

My right thumb will be going! My Thumb Thumb Ring (for Douglas Adams) was selected for eXtremities: Exploring the Margins of the Human Body, at the Jung Center of Houston. A juried exhibition of works for and about the arms, hands, legs and feet – as inspiration, as subject, as site. March 1–15. Juror: Seattle artist, Andy Cooperman.

As for the SNAG conference, perhaps next year I'll get to send another body part...

Maybe even that one!
