The camouflage necklace hits another Etsy Treasury, today’s train is called, “Don’t Get Out of My Square“, put together by Meital Levi of toolisjewelry. Which just makes me want to channel Billy Ocean (”get outta my dreams….”). Also in the treasury is some fantastic, felted modular jewelry by 3Fun, in particular, “Manic Organic” which can be converted into a bracelet or necklace, whichever you fancy.

Lovely Shana alerted me this afternoon of yet another Etsy Front page siting of my lego bracelets! I am on the E-tip train here with etsy. Missed seeing it on the front page myself, as now it has elusively moved to Treasury West. Very mysterious, this etsy stuff; hopefully someday they will archive the front pages (the etsy people told me they were considering this for the future). Anyhow, Linda, a fellow Piscean otherwise known as “alamodestuff” featured my violette femme bracelet on her “Off the Cuff” treasury. She has a great design eye, love her bags. Check out the treasury before it expires tuesday.

Today Grace Napoleon of re-useful on Etsy has been so kind as to include my 81 stripe basic bracelet in her Etsy Treasury, “Coloring outside the lines“. The collection has a warm, breezy feel, as if one were sitting in bed sipping tea, windows open to the ocean. Check it out before it expires Monday. Grace makes clothing from repurposed clothes. See her cashmere sweater below.

Thanks to Lynette of Asymmetry, I found out that my camou necklace (3rd row, first on left) was featured on the Front Page of Etsy yesterday! It’s all about color tags, I tell ya (check out how all the groupings I’ve been in are color grouped). Sweet way to start off the week!

Exciting news! My *e*oware jewelry is now available at a new venue in San Francisco: the store at the San Francisco Museum of Craft + Design located at 550 Sutter St near Union Square. I just delivered a large, 42 piece collection last week, including this brand new cufflink design.

Next time you’re in the area, please stop in and check out the goods.

PLUS, mark your calendar for their next opening, October 17, when I will be unveiling my interactive jewelry installation–My First Royal Jewels Jewellery Collection. The public will be encouraged to try on the pieces while being enlightened as how to properly handle art jewelry. It is inspired from this year’s Museum of Contemporary Craft exhibition, Touching Warms the Art, for which I made the Queen Margherita necklace. My installation is to compliment the main gallery exhibition, The Thinking Body, co-curated Kate Wagle and Anya Kivarkis, the latter whose experimental jewelry I’ve always admired. Showing alongside me with an an interactive lighting exhibit will be Oakland artist, Nick Dong.

See my project develop in posts yet to come (and yes, there are legos involved)…

Over the weekend two of my LEGO bracelets–Fruitstripe limited edition and kermit slim–were featured in a LEGO Treasury on etsy. Check it out before it expires at 12:48pm today!

For all you Batman fans out there, I’ve created new, elegant, Batman LEGO earrings for a night out in Gotham city! Bat Orbit earrings are made out of LEGO, aluminum, rubber cord, with sterling silver earwires. Batman logo in gold and black on top disk. Webmaddymatt has just added my brand new summer line of *e*oware lego jewelry–check it out!

Just a few weeks ago I shipped out a couple of boxes of new lego merch to 2 quite reputable East Coast art jewelry galleries: Sienna Gallery in Lenox, MA, and Shaw Jewelry in Northeast Harbor, ME.

Sienna Gallery has always been a favorite in my mind, for the innovative mix of top notch and cutting edge jewelry artists. Definitely honored to be included among these folks. Check out the online store–here’s a sneak peek at one of my pages:

Much to my delight, my LEGO jewelry was chosen yet again for an etsy treasury! This time the black and white and silver stripe slims bracelet was featured in “Jailhouse Rock” by jasper02. Thanks, Sandy for the nod.

I’ve just emerged from a month of non-stop, workin round the clock, studio madness–with a brand spankin’ new Summer LEGO Jewelry collection. All the new stuff is online on my flickr page for now, until my mastermind webmaster can catch up to my rapid-fire pace of creating! Below are some of my favorite bracelets: MONDRIAN Limited Edition (for the artist in all of us), 87 STRIPE PLUS 1×4 (ode to Jr. High), and FRUITSTRIPE Limited Edition (yes, inspired by the awful tasting gum).
