winter’s tracks
December 9, 2010
one thing i miss about winters in massachusetts is the snow. coming out of the studio really late at night and walking home with fresh powdery snow covering the streets, creating a blanket of quiet, and no one else around. sometimes i worried that if someone wanted to follow me, it’d be easy to see my tracks in the snow. but likewise, right outside my door i’d be able to see if i had visitors in the night…like these little snow paws.
and speaking of tracks…
please enjoy the wonderful laura veirs

leslie’s necklace
October 20, 2010
a graphic designer, Leslie Chow, contacted me about helping her bring a unique, custom designed wedding necklace into fruition. her design talents and vision made this a fun and exciting project to collaborate on! it is usually a challenge to work with someone solely via emails but Leslie and i had naturally smooth correspondences which made the job that much more pleasurable. her design translated beautifully into silver!
i want to wish happiness and health to leslie and jag in the following months and years to come!
the necklace is hand fabricated out of sterling silver and finished with a high polish.

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…
