Gustav Stickley, Gustav Reyes and Wood Art Jewelry

2010-07-13T06:57:00.000-07:00

We are back from Madison Wi. and it was a great show for us. The weather was perfect and as I have said in the past " I don't want life to live me I want to live life." We did just that. The highlight of the show was meeting the grand daughter of Gustav Stickley she was a pure delight. Gustav Stickley is only one of my greatest inspiration google his name the name of John Ruskin and William Morris. She also purchase three pieces. That was humbling. It is nice when life comes at you that way.

My first orders from the new Galleries and Shops have been all delivered. The list below is a selection of the galleries and shops that I am now represented by. If you had told me twenty years ago that I would have my wood art jewelry represented in the same space as a designer like Hervé Van der Straeten, I would have said that you were crazy. This journey is amazing and I truly believe one creates ones life.

The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore went great. The new work went over better than I could have imagined. We picked up some of the best national galley representation around. I would like to thank Manuel Perez for her endless help in getting ready for the show.

living Life : Wood Art Jewelry at The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show

2009-12-28T06:30:00.000-08:00

I have said many times that I don't want life to live me, I want to live life. Last month I displayed my Wooden Art Jewelry at the The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show which is a premier show and sale of contemporary craft. I would like to say that life was on full display and for sale in the wonderful work. I was enthralled with the art lovers of Philadelphia and constantly reminded that the life I live is my creation. Thank you to the wonderful museum's Women's Committee and Craft Show Committee.

Reflection : A journey to my past and Philadelphia.

2009-11-08T02:00:00.000-08:00

I will be departing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show this morning. I will be carrying a book that my father owned in 1975. I was just 7 years old when he owned this book. You ask what is the deal with this book well, my mother gave it to me yesterday as I was saying goodbye to her and my oldest son. The book is about jewelry making and the Art of jewelry. I was 7 years old when my father owned this book and 11 years old when he past away. I do recall many things about him, but seeing this book allowed me to reflect on the journey he was on. Likewise the journey I travel. I can not help but think that he would have been proud of me.
