work in progress / this has been on my bench for a while now, and i look at it every day. i thought i was making a piece of jewelry, but everyone who sees this says the same thing: “this needs to be really big!”. i feel the same way, in my head this one is called “blue room” because i like to imagine a place that feels the way this does. i’d like to live there. #ontheworkbench #wip #blues
delayed flight = one last day in mexico city, stumbling around happily without a plan. so many layers to every street and we were so happy to find @casabosques and all their friends at córdoba 25. now onward home to sf :) thank you mexico ❤️
goodbye zipolite ❤️
plant friends in zipolite :) #hellomexico
one of my favorite things about mexico city is the house numbers. the variety is endless and the numbers feel like greetings to us passing by #hellomexico #numeros
happy place :) roni horn at kurimanzutto. #hellomexico #kurimanzutto
on my way to mexico city :) and sending a thank you to @heathnewsstandsf for setting these aside for me! if you haven’t paid them a visit yet give yourself a treat and go have a lounge, feast your brain and support real print by real people. such a delight to open these and see stories crafted by old and new friends. and since it’s been 5 years since i was here last, if you have a favorite mexico city spot, i’d love to hear! #xofrommexico #heathnewsstandsf #printlove #heathceramics
smoky sutro, heavy heart. the fires and the guns. love to california and beyond.

months on my mind and weeks at the bench...i haven’t made bracelets in years because i never found a format that i really liked. but i’ve been seeing pictures of this in my head for a while now and finally pushed through all the technical challenges of combining warm wood, cool metal, bright color, a hinge, a spring, a clasp, a profile that’s actually the shape of a wrist, and a process that allows for variations within repetitions. yowza :) i’ve been wearing the prototype every day and it’s making me smile. more of them in progress, fingers crossed that they’ll be ready to come with me to the #philadelphiacraftshow in a couple of weeks!
There’s a happy jeweler at this workbench :) sending out a giant THANK YOU to all the lovely people who joined forces with me to send not $500, but $1,000 (!!!) to the Movement Voter Project! You made a difference and helped me make a difference. Being able to put my work in the service of what I believe in, and to see its impact multiplied, is a gift. I’m so grateful. And to everyone who popped over to MVP’s website and sent a few dollars their way- thank you too! 🙏 Every bit helps!
So... dusting off, back on track :) we have an election coming! And I’d like to see some things change. I have no idea how to do this but I’m doing it anyway: if you feel like your voice isn’t being heard in Washington at the moment, AND you would really enjoy wearing one of these beautiful 8-foot strands of matte Japanese glass delicate beads knowing that 100% of your purchase went immediately to helping small, progressive grassroots groups get out the vote in swing districts, I want to hear from you! These three pieces total just over $500 and I want to send it all, right now, to the Movement Voter Project. They’re an amazing national organization that operates in a way that resonates for me, and makes me feel a lot more connected to people across the US whose voices I don’t know how to amplify any other way. MVP's work is about the long term, not just the short term, and they understand that small local change leads to national change. They rigorously research their seed grant recipients, who use funds with incredible efficiency and make a difference through conversations and events at the granular, community level rather than with tv ads. They are especially focused on young voters and communities of color. So: all my favorite things, all in one place! If a necklace is out of your budget right now but you’re able to make a small donation, more on them here: https://movement.vote/about. But if you’ve had your eye on one of these, read on! The necklaces (in swipe order) are the Sierra, The Atlantic and the Saturn. The land, the sea and the skies; the things we all share. $170 each, which will all go directly to MVP. Feel free to claim one in the comments, or send me a dm, and we can get in touch by email for the invoice and shipping info. Shipping is on me, as a thank you :) and I’ll send you a copy of the confirmation email from MVP. Thank you!!! and tons of love from the studio ❤️❤️❤️ #vote @movementvote
