...and more rings.

I'm running out of ring pun titles for all the rings posts i've been putting up lately, but none the less, here's two more rings i made recently.

The first is Chilli Seed Ring and is a wee addition to my Bad Beasts Do Not Harm Me body of work which is travelling up to Sydney next week to be shown at Metalab Gallery in Surry Hills. I thought that as the exhibition is touring to a new home, a new little addition, just for Metalab, would be a nice way to carry the show forward.

Second is a ring i've nicknamed Eyes For You. It was meant to be a ring to go out as stock, but during the final stages of finishing it i realised, i never keep anything for myself. So, this one stayed with me and currently lives very happily on my middle finger.

I've had requests for similar designs since i started wearing it, so clearly wearing your own work is a good business move, pity i don't wear a lot of my own jewellery. People often ask why i don't wear more of my own work, or much jewellery at all for that matter. Part of the reason is simply because i find that when i work, i don't like having things getting in the way just in case i either a) damage the jewellery or b) get the jewellery caught in something that spins very fast or catches on fire, in turn, damaging myself.

Pieces of Eight, piece of the day.

Yesterday i was featured of the Pieces of Eight blog as part of their ongoing Piece of the Day series.

Included was a short little rundown on me, my work and a few tasty morsels from my vast personal inspiration file.

Dear Sydney friends,

Tasty Morsel...

Its still all fairly under wraps, but i am working on a few new exhibition pieces for a group show opening at Object Gallery in Sydney rather soon. More news to come, but in the mean time, here's a taster of what i'm offering...

Also, Bad Beasts will be travelling to Sydney very soon to be shown at Metalab, opening 3rd March. More info to come, but save the date and come on down if you're in town then!

Two pairs of new earring designs dropped off at E.g.etal late last week.
