New lens necklaces in progress!

I’m starting work on a whole bunch of new lens necklaces. I just signed up for three summer shows and realized I needed more inventory! It would be very easy to make multiples of each image, but I like to make each and every pendant unique instead. After all, that’s one of the benefits of buying something handmade by an individual- if you wanted something that five or a hundred or a hundred thousand other people have you could just go to whatever big box store dominates your local shopping landscape.

Or you can come see me and a whole bunch of other local artists and craftspeople and peruse the awesome things we make at these upcoming shows:

Fishtown Shad Fest, Saturday April 24.

Trenton Avenue Arts Festival, Saturday May 22.

Art For the Cash Poor 11, Saturday June 12 and Sunday June 13.
