I've always been into the idea of functional art--art that one can use or wear, art that does more than hang on a wall somewhere. From the Quilts of Gee's Bend to Yvonne Bobo's ginko bike racks that grace Cooper-Young, I'm into clever, creative, purposeful works of art that beautify and enrich life. This is not to say that jeweley is super functional, unless we're talking about wrist watches or lip gloss rings (remember these, ladies?). But it is decoration that can speak to one's personality and add a bit of fun and intrigue to daily life. Things I like the most are those that have meaning and stories behind them, derived either from the artist or through the wearer. This blog will be a documentation of items I have created or spruced up, as well as friends' jewelry that I admire. I also intend to feature cool stuff my creative friends are up to, as well as whatever other random things provide me with inspiration!
Speaking of watches, here come's my very first post, y'all...
