Check out some of the shots from the Project Green Search photo shoot. I must say my jewelry looks much better on hanging on beautiful people than laying around on my kitchen table.

Hurray! I just got into the Brooklyn Lyceum Holiday Craft Market. December 19th and 20th, 11am to 7pm, at the Brooklyn Lyceum (227 4th Avenue, between Union and President Streets, Park Slope). www.bkcraftcentral.com
Buy handmade, baby!

A couple of shots from my new Fishy Fish Fish Series.
Part of the upcoming OCEAN OF ART show at The Artery in Milford, PA (210 Broad St). Running from November 13th to December 6th.

A tree full of Living Jewelry has sprung up in Brooklyn!
So get on the L train and clamber on out to Williamsburg to Treehouse Brooklyn (430 Graham Avenue), where Siri will adorn you with piles of beautiful bling. I made off with one of her super hot crocheted necklaces (couldn't help it), and some old toilet paper rolls (also couldn't help it) for future ring boxes.

The next generation of Living Jewelry---Ecosystems. A little river water, a little sand, a water plant, and a snail. Let's see what happens.

So, what was gearing up to be a super mega crappola day actually turned out pretty good, in the grand scale of life. Let it be said that I never put much faith in the wide-eyed, pollyanna dimple-poking, always-look-on-the-sunny-side attitude. But I AM starting to learn how not to let myself fall under the wheels of my own moroseness (morosity? probably not a word, but I like it anyway), or dwell on the inevitability of jerks. So rather than walking around the house, muttering obscenities about my solopsistic neighbors, I went out, ate what counts as a bagel in upstate NY , and got myself a small spot at a new store--Willow and Brown in Livingston Manor, NY. It's slick and gleaming, and owned by somebody so very cool and stylish that I feel like a crocheted toilet paper cosie when standing next to her. But she likes my work, and that makes me feel pretty damned good, consarnit.

I also got a lovely mention on the Handmade Unique blog, as well as from the Girlie Girl Army AND Aardvark Silver. So, (eyelash flutter, hairlock twirl) it's been a good day after all.
