The Herd

















These little bronze guys with their lanky legs caught my eye the other day when I was in Holly Hunt’s showroom. Each has their unique personality but as a group they are quite dynamic. I regret that I didn’t ask who the artist was.

White Noise

 
And when the music stops, the rest is silence.  My music stopped for a while but I think I hear it in the distance.

Intermission





















It is time to take a break, re-fuel and go play in the desert.  In a week or two I will have new and exciting stories about enameling, soft stone carving and all things jewelry.

Obsessed




















A pair of earrings.  I'm obsessed with the detail that the artist designed for the back of the earrings.  I wish I knew who the artist was, the signature appears to be Eiel but my searches come up with zero.  Below is the front of the earring.

Jen Lobo

























Chroma Theives my favorite piece by Jen Lobo an artist from Pasadena, California.  I find her perspective refreshing and subject matter unique.

Chasing and Repousse




















Time to get back to making a few of my own tools.  While looking for ideas for shapes to make I came across several people who make beautiful chasing and repousse tools.  Above Knitsteel on Flickr.

Chandeliers


From Wallpaper* magazine's April 2010 issue (yes a year ago).  Chandelierious includes platinum, gold and diamonds jewelry from Chanel, Moussaieff, Georg Jensen, Tiffany & Co. and others.  Bracelets, rings, pendants and necklaces are displayed together to make wonderous chandeliers. 


My favorites are the Van Cleef & Arpels piece with their iconic clovers (click to next page - second image) and the the net-like 'Alphabet' pendant chains from Jacqueline Rabun (image directly below).
