Back from Surtex

Well, it's May 31st (Happy Memorial Day to all), and I've returned from my first Surtex show. I think it went quite well, and I have several contacts with whom I can follow up. I don't want to give away the details yet, but I will keep updating to let you know if a deal is made! I'm excited at the prospect of seeing my artwork on products. It will be the culmination of more than 8 years' focus and work. I shall see it through!

Meanwhile, I've updated my Etsy store again, so it's chock full of cool stuff to buy, to help fund next year's Surtex show (I'm definitely wanting to go back). So head on over there (emmycat.etsy.com) and see if there's something you'd like. I appreciate any and all purchases and/or donations!

Off I go now, to do some more art, but I will keep you posted as to my progress! Thanks for reading!

Hey all!
I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing, but have come to terms with the idea that it's probably a good thing to keep one, and keep it updated. So...

This is my most recent jewelry design. I'm quite pleased with it: the pendant is glass backed with temperature-sensitive liquid crystal, so it acts sort of like a mood ring... It turns dark blue/green with heat. On the front of the glass I've glued a pewter silhouette of a parrot I created. I then wrapped the pendant with copper wire and strung it on memory wire with copper-colored glass tube beads and wooden oblong beads.

It was very fun to make this necklace, and it will soon be for sale on my shop.

Keep checking back for more updates!
