I attempted a polymer clay-only week this time around, and stuck to it until a friend’s request got me off the hook for the last two days. The goods: I started out with a different concept in mind, and after unsuccessfully playing around for a while I ended up with this fun, simple shape. Someone on Flickr [ READ MORE ]
Polymer clay, brass rod. This little guy owes his shape to Carleton; I enjoy making variations on that shape when playing around with polymer clay. I like that purple color and its contrast with the brass. [ READ MORE ]
I jumped into the Ring a Day 2010 challenge a bit late, starting on January 10. Three hundred and fifty five rings is still a pretty big goal, and I feel like this challenge will stretch me in positive directions throughout the year. Since making one ring each day could easily turn into a very time-consuming [ READ MORE ]
Pretty new things at Culp Baubles! The latex and copper necklace has already been sold, but the others are there for the taking. Back to the grind; I’ve got to finish those snakes-in-love pendants I promised. [ READ MORE ]
I’ve neglected blog-land for some time, and now I’m back! I’ve worked my ass off and finished a lot of work since I was last seen ’round these parts, and I’ll be putting up pics and posts over the next week for your viewing and/or reading pleasure. I’m excited to announce that I’ve started an Etsy [ READ MORE ]
I am the featured artist on the cover of Issue 24 of Vision Magazine. This is somewhat surreal to me for two reasons: 1. I was editor-in-chief of this magazine until recently abdicating the throne (and ridiculous amount of work) for new editors Kyle Blauw and Liz Layton, and it feels rather bizarre to be featured [ READ MORE ]
I’ve saved the placebo week pills in my birth control packs since making Birth Control Ring in November 2004. One week’s worth of pills, one month at a time, the collection has grown to hundreds of little peach-colored sugar pills. I wanted to use them in a project somehow, but inspiration didn’t strike until I’d [ READ MORE ]
I made these guys while sick with an ear infection over spring break, with two weeks left to go until the show went up. They were fast and fun to make. Much earlier in the year, I’d gone to Spencer’s and looked at Small Pecker Condoms while working on the Cock Ring series. (I’d originally [ READ MORE ]
I did a presentation on the [personal] Space Invaders show at the Jay Boland Honors Research Symposium this morning—extremely sleep-deprived, hungover, with no preparation other than notes I scribbled during the presentation before mine. I would not recommend going into a public speaking engagement under those circumstances. Nonetheless, I said most of what I wanted [ READ MORE ]
Artist’s Statement “[personal] Space Invaders” is made up of rings. When worn on the body, a ring interacts with its wearer in a sensual manner. Subsequently, it affects the wearer’s reactions to his or her environment and broadcasts messages (traditionally about relationship status and wealth) to those who see it, making such a form uniquely appropriate [ READ MORE ]
