Mixed Media Self Portraits and MM jewelry

Here are a couple of spoon bracelets I made on Monday. I went to an estate sale over the weekend and they had these beautiful Sterling Silver spoons. They work much better than the first one I made. The teaspoon fits much better on the wrist. Also, I borrowed Syd's daughters bracelet mandrel which helped a lot. I really enjoy pounding metal.

Here is the cover of Mixed Media Self Portraits, a book I made a few self portraits for and wrote an article about my process. I also did a brief tutorial on how to create eyes. Not sure what was printed from what I submitted, as I have not seen the book yet. It is supposed to be out in September 2009

In April my family and I went to the Yucatan to visit one of the seven wonders of the modern world. It was awe inspiring as the Maya were a complex people. The carving on all of the ruins were fantastic.

We stayed in Cancun at a very nice hotel. It was a rather bizarre experience as I didn't feel like I was in Mexico, except when I stepped out of the hotel.
Incredible color of water. Ruth was in the pool most of the time
or playing in the sand.
I think I drank more in those few days then all of last year!!!






Persephone in Spring is a piece I have been working on for awhile. I'm not yet happy with it.
Here is "Fin Maiden" a piece I've not yet finished, but I'm liking it.
Syd and I are showing and selling our wares at Shell Beach Dinosaur Caves every 1st Sunday for a few months. May 4th was very cold. I hope it warms up!!
