My first official blog post! I'm soooo late with this blog thing. I think that means I'm getting old. I used to be right on top of all the tech trends. Now I feel like I can't keep up. RSS-huh? Bluetooth-what? And forget about texting. The generation gap has finally appeared for me and its a sad, sad day.

So what's good today? Well, my own website is almost done! Selling my pieces through Christine at www.urbanfabulous.com has been a great solution for me for a long time. And of course I can't say enough good things about Christine. But I'm very excited about having my own site too. The design is awesome and very "me" thanks to the incredibly talented Karen Michel. Keep watching www.AQuirkofArt.com...I'll be unveiling the new site soon!

Between taxes, inventory and my "real" job, finding time to work on new pieces has been hard to come by. But the art show season is quickly coming so I have to really get my a** in gear! One new piece I recently did is my favorite custom piece I've done so far. Its a book-type locket made from etched sterling and brass and of course vintage tin. Here are some photos--hope you love it!




I loved making this piece so much and was so happy with the results that I'm going to offer a line of lockets. They'll be available on my new website very soon (www.AQuirkofArt.com). And of course, I'm always happy to make a custom piece if you want something special.

Well, I'm off to catch the rest of the that guilty pleasure called American Idol. That beatboxing guy is totally going to win. If you don't count any of the girls that is.
