I've been working hard in my studio, getting ready for my first "deadline" of the year. I am participating in the Third Annual Art Jewelry Trunk Show, Feb. 8-9 at Yorktown Arts Foundation's On The Hill Gallery. I am a YAF member and Gallery volunteer, and I have organized this event with other members since the first year.
This year promises to be the best yet. Including me, there will seven jewelry artists who will show and sell their work. It's just in time for Valentine's Day, so it's a great opportunity to get something for your someone special -- or yourself.
Below are a few of the pieces I'll be bringing to the show.
Earrings, pendants and rings I’ll be bringing to the Third Annual Art Jewelry Trunk Show at On The Hill Gallery.
Getting back to "hard work" in my studio...I put "hard work" is in quotes because when things are going well, it doesn't feel hard or like work at all. These are times when the solder is flowing where I want it, I'm not melting bezels or earring posts and pieces are coming together as I imagined. I'm so focused on what I'm doing that I don't get hungry or thirsty, and the time just zips by.
I love what I do, and only regret that I didn't start on this jewelry journey when I was younger.
So, I hope to see you at the show. Until then, I’m going back to “work.”
