Home Again

Home from my travels in Europe with many photos of the wonderful faces that decorate and protect the buildings and bridges there. I so love the whimsy of them. Some are quite scary and are designed that way to protect the inhabitants from evil spirits (and people I suppose). Here are a few of my favorites. Wouldn't it be fun to incorporate some of these guys into a piece of jewelry? Hmmm
Good news came as I was away! My "Newt Box" was accepted for inclusion in the PMC Annual!! I an honored and thrilled. The book will include the work of 61 Metal Clay artists from around the world. If you are a member of the PMC Guild you will receive a copy in October and if not it can be purchased.

Now I am off to do another newt project as I still have more ideas to make another box even more special. I am thinking of making the next one in silver with the newt in gold. Stay tuned.
