my new fancy

frankincense.

little resin drops that i spear and string on wire and use for beads. they resemble honey hued raw diamonds.

paired with brass and ivory bone.

i just love them.

Gearing Up for PICNIC

i've decided that to make the whole PICNIC experience easier for me, more cost effective for buyers and to make the toting of purchases easier, i am going to bring my large prints in sleeves, unframed and unmatted.

framing can be so expensive, so time consuming for me and i actually consider it quite personal. i love framing the art i purchase and create for myself and do it according to my world and the feeling of my space. i am hoping my customers will feel the same way and have forethought and vision when viewing my naked work!

it just makes so much more sense to do it this way...i can bring way more prints to the festival, thus offer a wider selection and the work will be easy to carry for those shoppers on foot, too.

decision final. i am framing some little pieces...and a few medium sized ones...and sleeving all the rest.

water lily

this victorian brass waterlily hugs your wrist just right...and is secured by a chain made of hand wrought brass tubes. the kind of bracelet you can wear everyday and never ever tire of (i would know...i loved the first one so much i haven't been able to part with it...thus i made another for you. :))

Black Sea

beautiful, deep black vintage glass beads from one of my grandmother's necklaces...upcycled into the Black Sea Necklace. separated by undulated hand made brass findings on an antiqued black chain, closing with a brass lobster clasp. Earrings to match, the black beads are suspeneded by the antiqued brass chain and measure a striking 2 3/4 inches long.

come see them at www.tangiblesbysf.etsy.com or in person at Picnic music & arts festival in Portland Maine on the 12th of September.

the oceanic series and the krakin...

i just love living near the ocean...the rocky coast against that expanse of undulating color...it inspires me. coming soon to www.tangiblesbysf.etsy.com and PICNIC music & arts festival on September 12th in Portland, ME right next to Angela Adams' tent!!!!
