Perfect Timing

In four days, 3 of my grad school comrades and I will be receiving our take-home comprehensive exams. This week marks the culmination of my two years in the U of M Sociology Master's program, so it naturally seemed like the perfect time to start a blog. At the time when all my energies should be focused on preparing for this beast of an exam, I am birthing a blog. Go figure!

My first post features a pair of my favorite earrings. Found in a flea market in Berlin in 2009, they are constructed of vintage clock parts, including hands, faces, and gears. The artist had created about ten pairs, some colorful and some more subdued. The pair I chose featured the square black earring shown on left above, but its mate had a flashy, circular VW logo face that I didn't too much care for. So I disassembled it into a single strand of gears and a hand.

A closer look at the more minimal of the two...

I don't know about you, but I think the black piece stands alone quite nicely! Cheers!
