Continuing on with the food/health/diet/slow food related theme, I stopped in at Powell's bookstore the other night to see if I could find another one of Michael Pollan's books. All they had on the shelf was In Defense of Food, which I've already read (and loved), so I went searching for a book that I've been wanting to

These rings have traveled far and wide. I first created them in Australia as part of a self-directed body of work, which was based on playing with anodizing and working with Titanium. As I could not find Ti where I was living in a form that I could make into rings, I ended up purchasing a Ti rod

...though you would probably never know it at first. As a child, I used my imagination a lot. I read a lot of books, which I believe helped me in that department. I always wanted an imaginary friend, but didn't have one. I had my horses, my climbing trees, a pond, and multiple forts, not to mention brothers

Coming up in July, I will be hosting a month-long clearance sale to get rid of old stock that I no longer want. Anything that is left over will simply be added to the scrap pile, to be made into something new in the future. Much of my stock will be reduced except for my signature items. Those

The other night, D and I went out to Ping, in Old Town, Portland. Ping is sort of a sister child to Pok Pok, on SE Division st. My main attraction to it was that when I looked at their menu on their website, I saw that they serve Laksa. Laksa is a malaysian curry soup, that is

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I think of you, and miss you every single day. You will always be my best friend. I am forever grateful for not only the lessons you taught me, but those I learned simply by having YOU as my father. I love you, forever.

A bit of re-designing....

By
This is something I've been meaning to do for a while. A bit of a redesign to my shop and business. First, I'm starting with my logo/maker's mark. The one I have used in the past on my computer comes from the days of drawing, scanning, and very low-tech application. I finally got around to playing in photoshop

Months ago, while I was taking a class on Modernism (the culture, not the art genre), I decided to do my research paper on why we eat the way we do today, and where that change in our diet sprang from. I quickly realized that this was far too broad of a subject (after I had bought a

Long ago, in a land far away, I took a professional practices class as part of my degree. We had to do a presentation, and I chose to do mine on "alternative exhibition spaces", as a way to encourage my fellow artisans to break out of the idea of exhibiting only in a gallery space, and seek alternative

Slipping Underwater, 2009The first time I heard of Heidi Schwegler, I was living in Adelaide, South Australia, and doing research for one of my metalsmithing classes. Now I can't remember what project it was for, or what I was searching for exactly, but I found a write up of her mouthpieces, as well as another installation, and was
