perhaps it's a little late to be writing about this, but this past summer i had the opportunity to join my friends, nate wellman and fionn mccabe in a collaborative art project called "oh nancy." each artist created work authenticating the "oh nancy" story (which involves sky messengers, the champion of the sea, talking seals, and a football team who is run by the corn alliance, a group of religious extremists). i worked with alison layton to create championship football rings for the corn alliance football team. art pulse magazine recently published a review about "oh nancy", featuring an image of our football rings. click here to read it.

here are a few other images from the show.

the show was on view at gallery diet in miami this past summer, and will hopefully travel elsewhere.

carlsbad caverns
one of the highlights of my trip to santa fe was visiting the carlsbad caverns. the main room has walkways that are lit up so you can see the massive cave and rock formations. we also took a guided tour with flashlights, which was really amazing. my favorite formation was the sparkly "christmas tree" (pictured above). at that point, the tour guide had us turn off our flashlights, and we couldn't even see our hands in front of our faces. really neat.

500 plastic jewelry designs
Oh my, how I love Lark Book compilations! I was recently published in this one; 500 Plastic Jewelry Designs, curated by the fabulous Susan Sloan (pages 246 and 394). The funny thing is, I took an epoxy resin workshop at Haystack with Susan when I was 19. Before the workshop, I never used color in my work. Though I don't use epoxy in my current work, my use of color is apparent. I will also be in the traveling show associated with this book, Transmutations: Material Reborn.

Decorative Resurgence
In conjunction with the SNAG conference, Rowan University Art Gallery is holding a contemporary jewelry exhibit inspired by historical decoration and ornamentation. Unfortunately, I can't make it there to see it myself, but it looks like a really great show, and my yellow/pyrite necklace is in it (pictured). The opening reception is April 23, and the closing reception is May 24. If you happen to be going, take a picture for me?

engagement rings
I had never made an engagement ring before, but when my friend came to me with the request of one with a raw diamond, i jumped on it. this one is palladium with a 3ct raw diamond set in it, and diamonds flush set around the sides. the other is palladium with a garnet i cut myself. it was fun to search through ebay to find the "perfect" raw diamond. they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and brilliancy. this one was neat because it came to a point on either side; with 8 less-defined facets. i liked that it was slightly shimmery:
