stonehenge
September 29, 2010
stonehenge remains a mysterious site that we are still seeking the puzzle pieces to, yet continually draws us in because of that very enigma. i read this article about “the boy with the amber necklace” today. it is fascinating how scientists are able to trace back origins from this boys’ amber necklace and teeth analysis. i’ve always been amazed by artifacts and the stories scientists can uncover. it always made me wonder what sort of stories would be told about us, thousands of years from now….

at the beach
September 9, 2010
usually i imagine sun, sand, and surf at the beach…but this summer i unexpectedly stumbled across this detail while walking up a flight of stairs from the sand to the street level. it never ceases to amaze me, seeing a little plant growing and thriving out of a dark fissure in our man-made constructions…
big bold ring

this large oval ring is etched, hydraulic pressed, and fabricated out of sterling silver. it was a lot of fun to make and a one-of-a-kind piece. it sold at the Craft and Folk Art Museum earlier this summer.

a few name necklaces I’ve had the opportunity to design and make. each one is sketched and then cut out by my own two hands. they’re always fun to make and i hope equally fun to wear! Boey

maybe i’m a little biased since i’m a seller on etsy, but i have to say that i love etsy because i come across artists and makers that i otherwise might not find. i stumbled upon these beauties the other day.
Cheeming Boey makes these awesome hand-drawn styrofoam cups…
check em out at his etsy shop, boyobsolete.
also, his website is a new favorite of mine. the journals are wicked funny, simple, and honest.
