From the "Vault"

Winter Landscape Necklace No. 1, enameled steel, sale $600

I recently got a few older pieces back from a gallery in London and, instead of shipping them to another gallery, I decided to put them on Etsy. I don't offer many one-of-a-kind pieces there so I like adding a few now and again. Getting these pieces back was perfect timing! You'll find unique Line Drawings and two enameled necklaces, all included in the 25% off sale. The Line Drawings have a sculptural presence and the enameled pieces were based on winter observations made while living in Penland, NC. Each enameled plate depicts a different observation of snow and ice.

Cluster Brooch, sterling silver, $206.25

Line Drawing Pendant, sterling silver, sale $187.50

Arc Brooch, sterling silver, sale $112.50

Winter Landscape Necklace No. 2, enameled steel and brass, 

sale $375

Ghost Drawings

Ghost Drawings - My Line Drawings in new bright and shiny silver

Every once in awhile I get a request for my Line Drawing Earrings in bright and shiny silver, instead of the original oxidized patina. Then recently, one of my galleries requested a set of basic Line Drawing earrings in this lighter version to complement the original styles they currently have. Now I bring these bright and shiny, whisper-light versions to you. The shiny surface is sparkling and reflective and just adds to the barely-there feeling. Incredibly wearable, minimal, and elegant, these earrings are perfect for every day.

Line Drawing Diversion

Two of the pieces currently on view in the Aaron Faber exhibition "In Line/In Metal" include Line Drawing No. 8 and Cluster Necklace No. 2. Once again my photographer, Hank Drew, did an amazing job with my images--I love how the lighting and shadow in both detail shots effectively extends the drawings into space.  

My Line Drawing Brooch and Folded Arc Necklace and Earrings are also a part of the exhibition.

Thanks for reading.

auction prep: regal graffiti

for the past few weeks i've been making lots of work for the annual penland benefit auction. on saturday, august 14th the residents will host a special show and sale at 9am. it's called "breakfast at the barns" and auction-goers who attend get a lovely handmade mug for their coffee along with breakfast goodies to enjoy as they visit our studios and shop. last year's event was a huge success and we are all hoping for a repeat this year.

i made a number of new spray painted pieces including some single pendants, lots of earrings, and a few big necklaces. my color palate at the moment is red-light blue-yellow-hot pink-white. in the past i've hesitated a lot before painting the work, debating which colors to use and how to layer them, but i've found in making this work that i really like these specific colors and i am comfortable with them. painting was easy and i barely had to think.

i also created a new spray booth which has been great to use. it's safer and efficient and that makes spray painting so much easier.
