A Piece in the Works...

the past year and a half of my life encapsulated so many emotions...pure lovelinesses and hideous truths. i have been mulling over a big mixed media piece that will serve a a commemoration of that time...and the image of what it is to be is finally settled in my mind.

i have worked out imagery, materials and even composition, yet still struggle with how it will all come together.

right now i am in the process of gathering the following items:
rusty chain and or chicken wire
old, antiquated piano keys
some tattered red material
black ink
gold leafing
silver wire, very thin and thread-like

i have the large board the piece will be constructed on. and i have 18 months of journal entries that will be entombed in the piece as well.

Some New Summer Lovelies...

A Room of Her Own.

because i am lucky...and loved...jay is re-making this teahouse he built for the Portland Flower Show into a space for me to work in...to create art and jewelry in. i don't know how i got so lucky, but i cannot deny how excited i am at the prospects of having a real space of my own to work and show my work in. 


my goal is to set up my jeweler's bench and a soldering bench inside and have a sweet little display area in there as well. people can come visit and browse any time. music and, of course, tea, will always be present as well as good conversation.


since the reality of this studio has come into my world...and especially since we began work on it last weekend my mind has been flooded...and i mean FLOODED... with dreams that need to be turned to metal. i am twitchy at the idea of creating pieces using fire, which at present i don't have the proper space for. 


it is hard to temper the creative drive i am feeling. i feel like it is growing to the point i just may burst wide open...Oh that gives me another idea! See??? it just won't quit. 


stay tuned for photos of the progress of my studio project. love.
