"underwaterlove" Reception

Some assembled viewers.

I hope she's just scrutinizing my piece, and not angry.

Several of Beate Weiss' pieces. I can't tell in the image if the necklace is Tamara Grüner's.

My work as well as Tamara's.

Several of Beate's pieces.

Tamara's work, and a lovely reflection of Ute Klotzbücher!

And more of Tamara's work--I really love the round brooches she's doing.

I'm so glad Ute was able to take pictures of the reception for me. It was very nice to see images of the work together, and of the gathered masses.

Very excited to hear how the show goes!

"Untangling SNAG"

I wish I could take credit for the title, but it was gifted by Damian Skinner.

Working on two new pieces for the show in Berlin at Schmuckfrage called "underwaterlove" with Beate Weiss and Tamara Grüner.

Post-SNAG Recuperation

No, it isn't a particularly flattering photo of me, but it's honest. I may have slept since returning, but I still feel as tired as I look in this picture from the final night Party. From left to right, Heejin Hwang, Brigitte Martin, Satomi Kawai, and some crazy lady.

I have a ridiculous amount of work to do now that I'm back. A few more wrap up posts for Crafthaus, a more in depth article for another publication (more info. later!), work to finish for a show in Berlin at Schmuckfrage called "underwaterlove", and an order to fill asap. Oh, and lingering commissions I put off when getting ready for the conference.

I met so many wonderful people in Houston and had brief moments to catch up with old friends as well. Next year I plan to reassess my time budgeting. This year was a little too intense for me and my lapsed social skills now that I'm an art hermit.

I hope everyone who wanted a Swap Pin received one. If not, there's always next year!
