Happy Handmade Holiday

We love this picture sent in by Jim Klaus of his very own Kristin Caskey tree skirt. Looks great in your home, Jim! Thanks for the picture.

Lori Talcott

"Sorrowing Chain" Brooch

Lori Talcott is a Seattle based metalsmith whose work has been featured in our Sparkle Plenty 5 exhibit here in our main gallery. Her work is said to be inspired by family history, her travel experiences, and research of traditional and historical adornment. Talcott's work is a part of many private and permanent collections, such as the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery and we are glad to have the opportunity to show her pieces. Come see her beautifully made work and those of the rest of the Sparkle Plenty crew before the show comes down next week (Dec. 23rd).

Struggles Think Not

The Struggles Think Not by Rob Tarbell is still going strong. I am certain these guys are simply holding their breath until we lock the door each night. Then they spring up and have a wild rumpus until we return in the morning. They are really getting sick of me talking to them so please come say "hi".

They have also gotten some press on eXaminer.com
