From the page: "Aren't these triangles lovely? If you had to ask me 'WHY TRIANGLES?', I'm not sure I could answer you, though I did see, recently, a documentary on the history of math, where the ancient Egyptians used wonderful, perfect triangular markings - made with a shaped piece of wood and pressed into a clay tablet - to denote numbers. Maybe that was it. Or, maybe, as one of my favorite illustrators, Marc Johns, wrote once about his work, 'Sometimes I just feel like drawing long legs'. Either way (or maybe both), I love these earrings. I hope you do, too.


These deliciously geometric earrings were handsawn (right here in my studio, by me!) from 22 gauge brass that was, in it's former life, used in a letterpress - can you see the ink? I rounded and polished the edges and left the natural patina of the brass, along with any errant inksmudgeyness, on the surface of the pieces. Note the earwires - I handformed and forged them especially to go with this particular design. The earwires are sterling. The entire assemblage hangs 1.25" and is just over .5" wide. Bold, lightweight, triangularly terrific.

From the page: "I had a wonderful weekend past. My last weekend of my yoga teacher training, which has been going on since August. It has flown by. I feel ready, though. This past weekend we explored classical yoga - very different from the yoga of today. It made me appreciate myself, and my work, where I am now. Always striving, sure, but there is nothing wrong with where I am. That's been difficult for me to work out in my head. I have felt very stagnant, very stuck, for (I cringe a little even typing this) a few years now. Personal upheaval turned my world on its head two years ago, and the fallout has been obvious, and overwhelming. This weekend helped me realize that I am okay. I will get there - wherever that is. And I should be proud of what I am doing now.

Whew.

And, so, on Monday, I made these earrings."

From the page: "I am so happy with the way these pendants came out! I think they're just perfect for gift giving to just about anyone from bridesmaids to mamas.

Each sterling silver pendant is hand-sawn - without a pattern, so each one is one of a kind - and given softly beveled edges, then stamped with a letter, number, or symbol. Oxidized for beautiful contrast, hung from lightweight, slinky chain, and REVERSIBLE, these pendants are perfect for every day wear, and look wonderful layered with other necklace.
