Finished Work- Love Bugs

Here are a few of the finished Love Bugs. Sorry the picture is not great.  I took this on the fly just before I dropped them off at the Gems show at Benicia Arts. I have 2 more still in progress that I will post soon.
I am also working on some tiny 2" x 2" foil and tape pieces which I am including in this post.  I am enjoying experimenting with the foil.

Work in progress- another Love Bug

I am having a slow studio month, but wanted to post this little bug.  I am going to have several of the Love Bugs in Gems: Exquisite, Intricate, Intimate Small Works of Art at Arts Benicia next month.  I have to drop them off Monday so I better get moving.  Here is the link to the show if you want to check it out. http://artsbenicia.org/events.htm

 Having been depressed a few times myself, I love how she is able to share the depths of the despair with humor and honesty.

Collaborations

This table is a collaboration between my friend Michael and I. I made the tile and he built the table.  I think he did an amazing job.  I get to see it in person this weekend.  I can't wait.

New Work in Progress- Love Bugs

These are fun little pieces. I am sort of obsessed with that rolled keraflex. Can you tell?
