Monsters For Sale!

the Monster Series
I've just dropped off some pieces from my Monster Series at the Ann Arbor Art Center's Gallery Shop. This is a big relief to me, since I have such a hard time photographing the tiny, round pendants. The smallest pendants are shiny and domed, which — at least in my experience — makes them almost impossible to photograph well. You may notice that the professional photographer who took this photo (click to make it bigger) didn't get the tiny guys very well, either (they're the three faces on the left). The group shot is great (thanks Charlie!), but close up, the little guys aren't very clear. So, rather than drive myself crazy trying to take difficult pictures, I decided to send these along to the Gallery Shop, where people can see them in person.

Interestingly, the shop director chose not to take any rings, which are the highest-priced items in this group. He liked them, but he's just not selling things that are priced that high. An unfortunate sign of these hard economic times. Maybe one day I'll be able to make these again, they're my favorites! In the meantime, you can see the two styles of pendants and the earrings at:

Oh, thanks for the compliment! Charlie did a great job photographing, but I'll admit that I put the display together myself. Far too delicate for an art fair, or even a shop, but it suits the pieces for the photo, I think. And I managed to blur the tape in Photoshop, so it isn't so noticeable!
