Daily Poetics feature

A feature on the *lovely* blog Daily Poetics. Which is extra nice as I love this ring but the photos still need work.

Also on Etsy.

New Ring- 'I Miss You'

After posting these photos today I was delighted to see Emily Watson's apt and astute juxtaposition of imageshere on Flickr. I've also looked at the little lovely bumps from the lettering and thought of topography so it's perfect.

Click all images for a larger view.

"I Miss You',
Ring individually handmade of a custom made stamp and sterling silver. Bold and subtle and brave declarations of love to be left on bedside notes, at the bottom of a letter or a sweetheart's wrist, over their heart, along the nape of their neck... little traces of love left behind.

"I Miss You" was part of my recent solo show at the Crafthouse and is also in Poppytalk Handmade's 'Paper Pops' May/June juried online market and listed on Etsy.

Photos on Flickr with more rings, phrases and sizes to come!

Vintage goodness

Vintage goodness seen post-errands. Seen at in Lazy Susan's Vancouver. Truly the mother lode for great salt and pepper shakers. I was so close to buying the chicken and egg ones. Or the wolves. A few more photos here on flickr.

'Ice Necklace' by Ted Noten.

If I were in Amsterdam I would definitely not miss this. I've long been a fan of Ted Noten's and I would love a chance to add to my (so far quite, quite small) art collection with something by him.

If the gallery were posting some pieces online I'd definitely be purusing with intent to buy!

Irregardless of the chance at a deal on a Ted Noten piece, popping into the gallery would be quite exciting they represent an impressive international roster of artists such as Anya Kivarkis, Felieke Van Der Leest (always brilliant), Celio Braga and Lina Peterson (among many others).

S. Kyu Hwang, The photo's a little dark/rough but it's a detail shot of my favourite piece.

"let's go home",
graphite on paper

This was the work I'd most love to own; sweet, detailed, modern, vintage. Who I've just googled and find has site under construction and a blog 'draw'.

Super Human Be-In!

Super Human Be-In! So very 70's and so very Vancouver. I was down on Granville Island today (dropping off new work for the Crafthouse shop) and saw this show being installed at the Malaspina Printmakers Gallery, Van BC, Canada .

Elizabeth Zvonar
Super Human Be-In
May 6 - June 1, 2008

I must say, I'm in love with the title. So much so that after buying some apples in the public market I came back to take a picture of it. I'd have taken more photos of the show but they were closed for installation. Hence the ladder. Work made of original copies of the Georgia Straight (local weekly newspaper) from 1969 – 1970 when it was an 'alternative/underground' voice of youth.

Snapshots of 'The Ring' by Sylvie Lambert

Favourites from 'The Ring' by Sylvie Lambert. Photos from book taken at the Vancouver Central Public Library in the art floor's reference room. Click for a larger view of each image.

A book very high on the list of those I'd love to own.


Mario Pinton. Rings I want for my collection. I think that I'm also happy with a good scan of this page and framing it.
And what amazing photography. Impeccable's probably the best term.


Gerda Flockinger's impressive fusing of gold.




Ring by Ted Noten, and rather different then how I normally think of his work.


Love, love, love sets. Love pieces in pieces.
