emiko-o reware

Yesterday Christine and I sadly packed up our shows at the SF Museum of Craft + Design, marking the end of a spectacular run for both My First Royal Jewels, MakeArt and Jewelry_cycle. Ahh, the memories…the group tours, the press, Sept & Oct’s never-ending adrenaline rushes. Now it’s how to fit it all back into the apartment.

We just received a copy of our TV debut interviews of our exhibitions on Comcast Channel 104′s Inside City Limits, and hopefully will be able to post clips online soon. There really is nothing like a 3-month run for an exhibition to get the word out on the street and online. Here is the clipping from Dec 14th’s SF Chronicle Datebook, where The Duchess is featured.

Apparently, Reed Easley’s circuit board series was featured on Dec 25th; haven’t seen it yet, but will post it when I get a hold of a copy. Her fan showed up on eventful.com (events posting site), as did my Maharajah piece.

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.

Hot off the bench is the second Pilates pose pendant, “Control Balance”, created in sterling silver especially for JoeandClara.com.

Joe & Clara is a Pilates inspired clothing, jewelry, and accessories company founded by my good friend, Romina Laygo. We started designing the pendants a couple of years ago, the first piece modeled after the “Teaser” pose. You can purchase the pendants through the JoeandClara store.

This time around, I documented the process of making the pendant, from graphic design to wax model to final casting. See the complete story on my flickr set titled, Pilates Pendant.
