A place for everything, and everything in it's place...

It seems to be a recurring theme with many artists I know...that their stuff can sometimes get in the way of creating. When I reclaimed some space downstairs in our house and made it a dedicated studio, I slowly began accumulating the detritus of creating: things brought out and not put away (the single most irritating thing I do), new things acquired but without a home, and since my back door is our back door to the garage and parking, the daily transit through the studio of things like bags of cat litter, trash, recycling, rags and towels, and a constant parade of patina cups and tweezers. I need an intervention.

What I made the other day...

I've kind of been on a tear lately to create something in silver and bone, prompting me to even create a chain that would somehow form the basis of several different pieces, or at least pieces of those pieces. That part of the equation being done, it sort of fell by the wayside while I tended to custom orders, chain production, blah, blah, blah.
