Spent TOO much time on this design but finally got it more or less the way I wanted. The recycled elements are wheel spoke nipples–3 are from bicycles, the larger one is from a small motorcycle. My next event is Sunday Dec 6 @ Hotel Phillips in downtown Kansas City.
Necklace with wheel spoke connectors and misc. parts
I made this necklace a few years ago. It hardly gets any lookers at shows. I have re-designed several times. Here we go again.
My latest show was just this past weekend–E’Ville Indie in Edwardsville, IL. Since it has a Halloween vibe, I wanted to make a piece that would suit the mood. I’ve seen the flying skull motif in a variety of settings–the cemeteries in New England and rockabilly/hot rod events use the image. My version is on the right.
I recently participated in the the Art Westport event in Kansas City-this was my third year. I like this show for a number of reasons–location, easy load in/out and the option of a “quad” booth space. The small space makes me focus on what’s the priority for display. Plus I don’t have to lug around that tent! PERFECT weather. Wonderful people. A very good show.
Recently, there were some adjustments/upgrades to this blog. As a result, the photos for the most recent postings aren’t visible. I might go back and re-load the images but right now, that has limited appeal. Instead, I might just keep it fresh with my most recent efforts.
