Collaborations

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I’m currently nesting in Indiana for a few more days until I head back to the Pacific Northwest to wreak end-of-2009 havoc (read: recover), but I realized I’ve been doing all my blogging over at the Steampunk Workshop and not attending to this fine joint.

So, here’s a wee update as to some of what I’ve been making, and most of it has been group projects.

Krista Brennan, a friend of a friend, residing in Australia, is an insanely talented illustrator who borrowed some of my photographs as reference for a handful of breathtaking watercolor and ink pieces. Everyone should chuck money and cookies at her for being so darned awesome with the art.

And yours truly, from a self-portrait. I am in love with the hairdo and the tentacles.

A year ago, I also donated some images to the recently-released Steampunk Style Jewelry: Victorian, Fantasy, and Mechanical Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings by Jean Campbell. I haven’t received a copy of the book yet, but the Amazon preview stokes my faith that it will be a fine publication (and I get a shout-out on the back cover! yes!).

More fun collaboration to come in the new year. 2010 will be my craziest yet. Happy holidays.

Frozen Music

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

My friend, Mercedes Brugh, has a new Etsy store:

Mercedes, of Frozen Music, handmakes some of the most detailed fused glass jewelry I’ve ever seen. Her pieces incorporate whimsical CAD drawings etched into a dichroic coating on sheet glass. I own one of the Dia de los Muertos pendants pictured, as well as a glamorously rendered green glass circuitboard. Check out her Etsy store for additional pieces in brilliant colors.

In Etsy-related news, I’ve started listing items again, such as these propeller-shaped white clock hand earrings with sterling silver findings and delicate freshwater pearls. More recycled, upcycled, and funky fresh jewelry to come!

Thank you.

Vacuumed

Sterling silver wire-wrapped vintage vacuum tube pendant with grass green grosgrain ribbon.

Available at http://www.exoskeletoncabaret.etsy.com, along with a few other new items of note. I’ve been so busy entertaining guests and playing with power tools that I haven’t had much time to update my store, but this will change. I have a pile of prints and a few framed items left over from ANACHROTECHNOFETISHISM that need loving homes.

But tea (lavender grey, hot) first (with local cream-top milk…n0m!).
Cheers.
