welcome winter, a trip to the farm

19 January 2011

We finally did it. We bought a kitchen table. First, we took a little trip to the farm to borrow a vehicle for the trip. While we were shopping, Callie stayed to visit with grandma. There were some old tools in the garage. And this girl can’t resist inspecting tools. I am in love with […]

a ring a week #1

18 January 2011

I decided to make a try at a ring a week. My rule is that I can’t make it in my studio, it has to be something that I make elsewhere. Why? Well, I want to force myself to use found objects rather than traditional metasmithing materials. I play around with those materials often enough, […]

A few years ago my sister in law sent me a book for my birthday. Knowing me all to well, she got the last copy of hnoss depended. It consists of a collection of jewelry pieces which were on display at the Galleri Hnoss in Göteborg, Sweden. The work spans in time from 1997 to […]

lovely and local : modern printed matter

15 January 2011

I love when I discover that handmade goodies I love are made locally. While I knew Modern Printed Matter was a store in Warren I just hadn’t put together that the cards people loved so much in the Craftland show came from the same place.

Sorry I have been absent. I promise that my time has been well spent. Finally, I have been getting around to hemming curtains and hanging them. Our apartment is looking quite lovely and cozier than ever. But I digress, what you are really here for is to see some flowers I captured in London. Nice, […]

welcome winter!

13 January 2011

When I looked over my photos of the past week I realized that I have taken lots of time to enjoy the outdoors with Callie. It is nice to slow down a little but I still have so much I need to be making. One of my favorite adventures is to go by the river. […]

supermarket saturdays : swallowfield

8 January 2011

I must confess that I am a bit of a stranger to mixed media collage. Not knowing where to begin or end I have yet to attempt it myself. It seems that Jennifer Judd-McGee of Swallowfield has mastered the art form. Jennifer gracefully covers pages of books. The results are what we all picture our […]

lovely and local : rag & bone bindery

8 January 2011

This week when I say local, I mean right around the block local. Rag & Bone makes exceptional handmade books right in Pawtucket. I love the fabrics they choose to cover their books. Bright patterns and bold colors on classic book structures go so well together. It is the perfect formula for capturing a special […]

object fetish fridays : Julia Turner

7 January 2011

Another Friday, another crush on object fetish. While browsing through the schmuck I came across what I thought was a pair of enameled earrings. But when I clicked on Julia Tuner’s Storm Earrings I realized she used a completely different process to produce her color. “a graceful teardrop shaped panel of steel is prepared like […]

my travels through a lens : Notre Dame de Paris

6 January 2011

Maybe you couldn’t tell, but I have Paris on the brain. I suppose it is because I have always wanted to see it covered in a thin veil of snow. But, it may just be that I find it to be breathtaking in every way. I just discovered that Notre Dame de Paris means Our […]
