Big Night!

with my gallerists, Karin and Rene

(check out the brooch I'm wearing, a gift from Linda Savineau)

The opening reception for my solo show "Observation/Translation" happened on Thursday, September 6. It was a fantastic night with lots of people in attendance over the course of four hours. Many Belgian jewelry friends came and it felt fantastic to share the evening with them. I still can't believe I have a solo show in Belgium! I am so grateful and honored...it was an amazing night!

Guest Star #99...Ria Lins

Today's guest star is Ria Lins. I first saw Ria's work at Patro(o)n here in Antwerp. Then the other day as I walked to my tattoo appointment I saw her jewelry in a shop window. It is so lovely in person. I can't tell exactly how the pieces are constructed but they appear to be woven or sewn chains and thread. I like the delicate yet voluminous feeling of the work and the repetitive texture created by the rows of fine chain.
