New Jury Photos
We decided we needed some new jury photos, since our work has started to change and our booth has had the full makeover (more than once!) so we spent some cold time in the garage setting up a booth just for a couple of shots. We still flubbed the lighting a bit (the garage is not tall enough for the full setup) but the shots came out okay.

Show Tomorrow!
Come on down to Dartmouth College and see our new journals, along with our fabulous shell jewelry. We'll be in Collis Center from 10am to 4pm. Collis Center is on the South West corner of the green, diagonally across the intersection from the Hanover Inn. There should be plenty of signs up, but good luck with Hanover parking!
If you can't make the show, you can check out some of our stuff at the LACA show in West Lebanon. The LACA show is in the former KBToys store, between CVS and Hallmark in the Kohl's plaza. Open 9:30am - 9pm Mon-Sat and 9:30-5:30 on Sunday.

New Shell Line Debuts this Fall
We're still searching for a final name for the line, suggestions welcome.
Anyway, here's a preview of our new line, made with glazed shell. The glaze catches the sun and sparkles in many colors, though out of the sun each appears to be one solid color (unlike these photos).
A limited amount of the shell line can be found in Enfield at All Things Creative on Main Street. The main debut will be at the show in the Boston Seaport World Trade Center. Come on down and see us! (Feel free to email if you'd like a coupon for several dollars off admission.)
This one is light blue, really, with an onyx center:
Green:
Pink:
Purple:
Brown with chalcedony:
All of these are on sterling silver hooks, though I know EP made a few with fresh water pearls and gold-filled earwires.
Items will be available for purchase on the website at a later date, stay tuned for details (you can also email if you want to purchase something you see here before the Boston show...after that it may be sold).

Other purses
This is the second little purse I mentioned before.
And here's one that I almost finished a while ago but just put the last touches on recently.
These guys plus the one from the last post are available at All Things Creative in Enfield NH.

Pearl Project
I started a new project while sitting in the gallery on a wonderful afternoon. Unfortunately it was so nice out we only had a few visitors. Oh well, it gave me time when I had to focus on doing something rather than chatting or going outside. Here is the beginning of what will hopefully be a multistrand pearl necklace. I am very "matchy-uppy" (which is apparently quite a sin in quilting, but not so bad in jewelry) and have real trouble making something balanced without making it symmetrical. It seems to be working out here:
Just a shot of the gallery with the door open to the nice weather. Lots of nice things, come see! (Hours and directions in
this post.)
