my friend melanie and i have been laughing about using the term hawesome for haw (handmade austin women)!!! haha!! melanie is one of the other main coordinators for the show….hawesome….cheesy, yes!! but we just can’t help it. with all the long hours of planning the event i think we have the right to coin “hawesome” in the midst of our deliriousness. planning a show (even at this small scale) is an immeasarable amount of work and at times feels like a full time job. having said that, i love being part of this show in every facet. i love everything about it from the artists, to the details, to nerdin out on my computer organizing the logistics. AND, after all the planning it’s about that time to just enjoy.
the handmade austin women show is saturday and sunday, 11am - 6pm on may 1 & 2 at ginko studios in east austin. 800 gullett street, austin, tx 78720
come out and enjoy the show.

i’m truly flattered and tickled pink to have an interview with austinist for the east austin studio tour….
click here to read the complete interview.
chris and i will be showing at the east austin studio tour this weekend and next…from our gallery/garage :O) the dates for the tour are november 14th - 15th and 21st - 22nd from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm each day.
we’re at stop #63/#64. swing on by for a visit. you can find us here.
it’s official….i am retiring the beaded tail detail on the clasp of my necklaces. my new neck pieces will have a completely new and different clasp. i have some ideas that i am experimenting with now and i’ll let you know the outcome as it reveals itself. i currently have a limited number of necklaces with beaded tails. so, if you love those little guys on the clasp then now is the time to scoop em up :O)
these are fun all collaged together…maybe they’ll have a new identity in their next lifetime.
hApPY hAPpY!!!! my copy of the 500 plastic series: a groundbreaking survey of a modern material book arrived today…featuring two of my pieces. YaY, it was such a nice surprise to find that waiting for me at home when i arrived. the book will officially be released in book stores in september. there are so many amazing and inspiring pieces in the book…i am giddy-full-of-glee and honored to be placed aside such phenomenal pieces/artists. i have had polyurethane on my list of materials to experiment with for about a year now… this book is just the inspiration i need to buy some polyurethane and play!! i will list a few of my favorite pieces in the coming days. YipPy!!
i just found out last night that these two pillow pieces of mine: green pillow brooch and strawberry tiered pillow bracelet, will be featured in the book titled “500 plastic jewelry” by lark books. they should be printed this summer and in the book stores by fall of 2009. i am thrilled beyond words!! YiPpY!!!!!
