it has been too long since i have made special pieces for the shop... i love marsha's shards - she is a ceramic artist who creates wonderful shapes, textures and patterns covered in gorgeous glazes...
i am always on the lookout for what i feel is a great design to set off these shards... and then i got 'wrap, stitch, fold & rivet' by mary hettmansperger... and i knew that within these pages were olympic sized spring boards for me... and so for a couple of days, i was cutting, filing, bending/shaping, texturing, enameling, patinating, sealing & finishing, etc etc etc...
(marsha will often share pics of her mom from the 60s & 70s so i chose the 1960s setting for photoediting)
an order of sheet metal and wire is on its way - these are not quite finished... but they will be soon! i love the versatility of the designs in the book...
possibly my favorite from the group - these earrings have marsha's shards set with torched copper and beautiful fibers from lisa jurist...
marsha's flowers set against etched copper discs...
patinated metal discs, marsha's ceramics, my enamel or resin... the one on the right will be wrapped in fiber...
be watching marsha's shop - or check on my blog if any of these interest you... i hope to have them listed by monday -
and thank you for supporting such a worthy cause...
there will be more photos on flickr - the color here isn't optimal...
