New double-quarto pin
I've been working with my Quarto earring design, and realized I could make a pin out of a matched pair of earrings. I think they work quite well.

Baltimore ACC Show
We're all set up and ready for three days of retail in Baltimore.
Vases going to Florida (and so are we)
Today we're shipping a lovely set of round vases off to Gallery Morada in the Florida Keys. They have sold our vases for years, and are just now starting to show our wallpieces. The wallpieces they're showing are listed on our site here (only one so far, but another will be on its way soon).
It so happens we're also on our way to Florida for David's father's 90th birthday next week. We will be back to normal operations on 30 or 31 January, in time to prepare for ACC Baltimore, where we will be showing from 24-26 February, in booth 1002A.
The Eight-Hundredth Wallpiece
We just completed our Eight-hundredth wallpiece. Here it is, wallpiece 11.05 (that is, the 5th wallpiece made in 2011). It is already boxed up and on its way to be displayed at Stowe Craft & Design in Stowe, Vermont. Stowe Craft is showing several of our wallpieces at the moment.
A New Tabard Menorah
Here is the newest Tabard Menorah in the 'Saddle' limited edition. This one, #7 of 20, is the first to use red copper for the tabard piece. I've also recently completed another menorah in a new style related to the Tabards, but bigger and bolder. I will post photos of that when I have a chance to take them.
Red Spot pedestal table
Just completed this pedestal table, commissioned by a client on the east coast. The pedestal table is about 23 inches high, with 15-inch square glass top.
A full set of antique blue lens vases
I just made a full set of lens vases in the color we call antique blue. Antique blue contains ultramarine pigment - the only pigment we use in any of our patinas - in a copper nitrate base. Ultramarine pigment was once derived from grinding up lapis lazuli, and the look of the patina - especially in this set of vases - reflects that origin. This set of vases is on its way to Mowen Solinsky Gallery.
New photos of foldformed bracelets
I've been taking some new pictures of foldformed bracelets to show the range of colors available.
The latest wallpiece sold.
The latest wallpiece [an oldie, but a goodie] was sold by Earthenworks in Washington State.
Kings Mountain Art Fair
Last weekend we went down to check out our space for the show on Labor Day weekend. It's a beautiful spot in the redwoods by the volunteer fire department (which is largely funded from a percentage of the proceeds at this show) www.kingsmountainartfair.org . It should be considerably more crowded next weekend!
