emiko-o reware

emiko interviewed for SF Chronicle

It’s been a busy press month for me thanks to the fine PR efforts in conjunction with the Palo Alto Art Center’s STYLE 2010 upcoming trunk show, this coming Saturday, April 24! In this Sunday’s SF Chronicle’s Style section, I was interviewed by the lovely Jeanne Cooper about my emiko-o reware jewelry from LEGO (see the pink outlined section in the article above). My Pink Martini bracelet looks fabulous in print, and even better online in the SFgate.com article, where my Mondrian bracelet is also featured (see image below). Check out the online article and photos.

Also, for all my facebook Fans and friends, you already know about the use of my large LEGO necklaces in the current issues of both Gentry Magazine and Scene Magazine (San Jose Mercury News Spring edition). It’s non-stop but it’s the only way I operate I suppose…

And even Metro Silicon Valley newspaper interviewed me and hit the stands this past Thursday, April 15, which I sadly missed getting being up here in SF (drudging through taxes and the dreaded check writing). Hopefully I’ll get my hands on a copy and can share with you all soon!

Come say hi to me this Saturday from 10am-5pm at STYLE 2010 at the Palo Alto Art Center:
1313 Newell Rd, Palo Alto 94303
The trunk show is an annual fundraiser for the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation. Buy for a great cause, take note from my dear  friend Liz Brown, seen here wearing my silver hubs trio necklace on her way to Chicago!
