PRS Guitars!

Exciting news! I have worked out a great partnership with the international guitar company PRS Guitars! They have agreed to give me their old guitar strings. It will work like this: when they refurbish an old guitar, they cut the strings off and put new ones on. I will get those strings along with the "nubs" found at the bottom that keep the strings in place. I will also get the strings that break in the guitar making process. I am beyond excited, as you have probably guessed. So, if you buy a pair of earrings or any piece of jewelry from me after Friday...it just might be Carlos Santana's old guitar strings. How awesome is that!

American Visionary Arts Museum

For the next month and a half I will be creating new original work for the American Visionary Art Museum's Bazaart show that opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs through Saturday. My work will incorporate everything I have been developing this past summer and new inspirations.

My work is inspired by color, designs from the past and unusual texture and shape. the trick will be to edit and hone designs that work, letting go of the ideas that don't. I'm feeling up to the challenge and excited to create beautiful pieces.
