New Shows, New Work

I've just listed two shows that I have coming up.  In November I will be at the By Hand Show at the IX center and in December I'm at the Last Minute Market.  So I've been busy designing pieces.  Every night after work I'm in the studio.  All weekend long I am in the studio. 

Mostly I'm designing the finished pieces but every now and then I hop over to the metal clay bench to make a few extra accent beads.  The kiln is firing right now with pieces parts. 

I'm really liking the things I'm designing right now...that's sounds funny.  For about a week I was blocked....artistically speaking.  I sat in the studio and just stared at things.  But then it started to flow.  I had to pull all the beads down off the wall and start mixing and matching.  The pieces are really coming together nicely.

Here are a few pieces from this week.
