Lillian Jones in Art Jewelry Mag

A big congratulations are in order to my friend, fellow North Carolina Society of Goldsmith member and artist extraordinaire, Lillian Jones for making the January issue of Art Jewelry Magazine. I attended a workshop which Lillian taught about using the texturing technique she demos in the article. Afterward, I made a collection of beautiful copper earrings using this and customers loved them.

Clocks for Homes, Clocks for Industry, Clocks for Defense...

Showing some of my clock collection getting ready for the Lazy Daze Arts & Craft Festival in Cary this last weekend. Good thing I brought them with me...this was my almost by best sellers. Thanks to the great customers and very interesting folks we met down there. The weather was tolerable but still a bit warm. What do we expect in August, eh! Some great artists frequent this show and I feel humbled by being there. MY new clock collection is an assortment of enamels. All fold formed for design and strength, some to a greater degree. Assorted purchased faces and some with separation enamel for the numerals. As was true for this show last year, I received a lot of complements for bowls but no purchases. Earrings were a good sell though. Thanks again great customers....Next show is Rockingham County Folk Festival at the RCCC campus, 9/6 and 7. Hope to see you there!

Some of my latest work..Beggars' Bowls

These are hand raised copper vessels and enameled. Approximately 3" by 6". Some are fold formed then raised.
