Survival Whistles


I got a bee in my bonnet about making a whistle! This is the prototype, I've several ideas how to do things differently on the next one. This one is not polished yet either...It does give quite a blast however! Near gave the old man a heart attack! LOL Apparently length of the barrel determines the pitch.

Zen Inspired Beauty - Tish Collins Jewelry

There is alot to experience in the zen-inspired jewelry created by Tish Collins.

Whether in her polymer work or her metal series, most of her pieces depict a tableau of images and words that seek to describe universal experiences and emotions.




Her colorful and thought-provoking designs are based on shape, color and pattern. Her use of her collages within her jewelry evoke symbols and imagery from various cultures.


 


Her metal pieces are hand fabricated from etched, patterned and oxidized metals, and each component adds so much to the overall effect.



Each piece is an experience to enjoy.

For more images and information about her work, visit Tish Collin's website.

Sculptural Wire Jewelry by Kathy Frey

We've long admired the sculptural wire jewelry created by Kathy Frey.

Her work ranges from the stylishly simple to one-of-a-kind elegance, and each piece seems to come to life under her careful and meticulous artistic skills.

For instance, one can see the smooth, undulating shapes of stones in her Riverstones collection,




and her Cages collection delicately captures various types of gemstones,




while her Nests collection alludes to the delicate wispiness of bird nests.


There are many more delightful collections to see.
For more images and information about her work you can visit Kathy Frey's website

Exhibition - Crafting Modernism: Midcentury American Art and Design

There is an interesting exhibit currently on view at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.

Entitled, "Crafting Modernism: Midcentury American Art and Design," it features work in all of the craft media (clay, fiber, wood, metal, glass, and alternative materials) that blossomed across the United States during the postwar era.

Spanning a 25-year period that begins in the mid-1940's and concludes in 1969, the jewelry artists that are included in this exhibit are not necessarily as well known as they might be.


Some of the pieces that caught our eye include:


this necklace by Betty Cooke that is fabricated in sterling silver and silver wire -




and a necklace by Elsa Freund that is forged and assembled with sterling silver, glazed earthenware and fused glass -




and one by Linda Watson-Abbott, aptly called Landscape, that is fabricated and uses lost-wax castings of sterling silver and enamel -



and this piece called Shaman's Necklace by Ramona Solberg that is fabricated and assembled from silver, Alaskan ivory and found objects -




and this cocktail ring made by Ruth Radakovich that is cast and forged with 14k gold, titanium, rutile and cubic zirconium -  




These selections are only a small tip of the iceberg!

To see more of this exhibit, you can visit the MAD website.

The exhibit runs from October 12, 2011 to January 15, 2012.

Visit With Santa



Every year Santa is a little bit less scary for Will.  This is the first year Will would actually tell Santa what he would like.   Will told Santa he wanted a Santa Lego guy, kinds seems like he is brown nosing with the big guy.   Happy Day friends!
