For the record…
Upcycled earrings with vintage record charms (Japanese, 1960s) paired with jet black Swarovski crystals and niobium hooks! :0) Kitsch + Glam. https://www.etsy.com/shop/artsyletters?ref=hdr_shop_menu&search_query=record
Looking toward… Paris!
Bonjour! What time is it in France? These fun earrings feature an image copied from an antique page in my collection which has clock faces representing the time differences between 12 o’clock in Washington D. C., and various cities around the world (A. J. Johnson). “Air-line” distances to Washington appear in their centers. This diagram was published in an atlas in the 1860s – before there were standardized time zones!
The pale green Paris clock image shines under glass cabochons in antiqued brass lace-edged settings, with dark vintage clock hands dangling beneath.
Bookmaking Magic
Another great Seth Apter online workshop….
I enjoyed “Double Jointed” on Sunday – a wonderful 6-hour online workshop by Seth Apter. Here are a few photos of the book I made. You can find a video of my flipping through the whole book on my artsyletters Facebook page. :0) (Some elements include various papers and collage, block prints and stamps from letterpress blocks, fabric, linen thread, transparencies, paints and gelli printed images, an altered wax seal sent with some wax I ordered, and some tiny metal beads from a 1920s (?) purse.)
April in Paris; Solar Eclipse in the USA…!
