Dear Readers,

I just wanted to share some little updates with you all. I have added a few new links, and will be adding even more shortly. The teammates section is made up of close friends of mine making good work generally outside the jewelry sphere, so soon I will add a new list of young artists specific to the content of this blog.

I have also added a few bits to COSMOLOGY, for your consideration and enjoyment. Perhaps I should mention that I am always fixing up old posts because I don’t have an editor (obviously), and I am not so good at initially finding all the mistakes and/or words that I misspell when I write these entries. For this I am eternally sorry, but know I am trying my best.

And for the most exciting part of this really not-so-exciting post, is the newly updated ‘BOUT THIS BLOG tab above. There you will find a short bit entitled:

HOW I AM SEEING THINGS NOW: THE PLACE FOR (THE GOOD) CONTEMPORARY WORK IN JEWELRY (IT DOESN’T YET EXIST)

It is an invitation of sorts, so please read it and tell me if you’re into it.

I suppose I could also let you all know i’m going to Schmuck in Munich this coming thursday, so expect a report (eventually… my turn around time ain’t great, I know). I’ve never been before, but hope I am able to touch base with a lot of artists, see a bunch of new work and eat a lot of sausages.  If any of you mystery readers are going, let me know!

Lastly, the first book in Lark’s redesigned 500 series, Showcase 500 Rings by Marthe Le Van, curated by Bruce Metcalf, releases officially in May. You can find one of my rings in the book! As well as up to 499 other pieces by friends, teachers and old classmates. If you want you can take a preview —> here.

BUONA GIORNATA !
