september

september will always be back-to-school time for me,
even if i’m not in school anymore. i associate this
month with the fresh start of the school year and all
kinds of new things, namely, notebooks. for this
month’s jewelry of the month, i collaborated with my
friend and fellow artist marianne dages. marianne is
a book artist, photographer and printmaker. she made
tiny books for which I created brooches inspired by a
locket of my grandmother’s.

each is approximately 1.5” wide by 3” long. the brooch
and handmade twisted wire chain are oxidized sterling
silver. the books are handmade flax fiber paper and
linen thread.

there are 8 brooches available at $120 each. each
comes with a numbered and signed card.

2 now sold

these brooches will remain available until sold or
september 30, whichever is first.

jewelry of the month is a way for me to realize
designs that don’t fit into my regular collections
or studio jewelry. these pieces are an opportunity
to take ideas from sketchbook to workbench and
share them with you.

each edition will be limited to less than 10 and will come
with a numbered and signed card. each item will sell
for under $120. i plan to use unusual materials like
vintage wallpaper, new techniques like sewing,
and i will collaborate with friends who work in other
media like glass and clay.

if you would like advance notice, please send me an email
to sign up for my jewelry of the month mailing list.
