Just a few of the many items you will find at my booth tomorrow at Crafty Supermarket in the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. Living jewelry necklaces with actual tiny living succulents inside, blown glass orbs wire wrapped, and found glass tumbled and wire wrapped, all made by my hands.
I’ll be there from 10am until 6pm, will you drop in?
One Thousand Means of Escape by S. Astrid Bin
This installation featuring 1,000 paper airplanes are meant to evoke a flock of birds, caught in mid-flight, but it reminds me of stars flying by at warp speed. I’m still saddened by the painful fact that I will never live long enough to see paper spacecraft technology progress that far though :(

Phoebe Cummings at Victoria and Albert Museum
In 2010, ceramic artists Phoebe Cummings did a residency at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. During those 6 months her studio space evolved as an ongoing temporary installation. From this unique space inside the collections she will be researching how nature and landscape have been represented historically through ceramic objects and interpreting elements of these designs in the construction of three-dimensional environments.Phoebe’s work is absolutely mind blowing. Using only raw clay, she created intricate other worldly environments that seemed to be alive and growing. The amount of detail down to a microscopic level is incredibly impressive.
Although her residency has ended her documentation is still online and can be viewed HERE!

A photo of a man sitting on liquid mercury came up in conversation with my roommate. I decided that I had to seek it out, and here it is in all its craziness. He’s not only sitting on it, he’s being held up by it… very dense stuff.
I believe it may be a photo from the 1970s, and may have been in a National Geographic magazine edition.

My first trial with my semi-newly acquired rock tumbler.
I wasn’t expecting the rock tumbler motor’s drive gear would wear off. I was hoping more for the contents of the barrel to meet such a fate, as would be expected of a rock tumbler.
I suppose I should possibly have anticipated this result with a 40yr old rock tumbler with plastic drive gears.
It provides me an excuse to make my own though…
(anyone else have trouble typing the word “tumbler” properly after having used Tumblr a considerable amount?)
These are some of the jewelry items I currently offer :) I’ll post more within the month as they’re completed. I also have a very exciting concept to share once I figure out a few kinks!
a. wire-wrapped sea glass with a light electroplating.
b. indicator light bulb wire-wrapped, electroplated, filled with small fossils.
c. blown glass bead wire-wrapped, electroplated, use of instrument string.
d. indicator light bulb with living succulent, “living jewelry” line.
e. live oak acorns.
