Last weekend i visited the fabulous art museum, Crystal Bridges, located in Bentonville, Arkansas. This is a beautiful place - the highlight for me was seeing a couple of wonderful mobiles made by Alexander Calder. I had never seen any of his work in person so this was such a thrill. I would love to design and "build" earrings using this model....

New earring design

]]><![CDATA[New earrings!]]>Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:29:39 -0800http://www.laurateague.com/1/post/2011/12/new-earrings.htmlJust wanted to share this new earring design - I am so happy with the way these turned out, i made several pairs to have at the show this weekend in Jackson (Chimneyville). These are sterling silver, of course, hand-punched and brushed for a cool finish. I also have plans for necklaces & bracelets using this or a similar design but, alas, as always, many ideas, limited time. But look for these coming soon on my website and at shows.

I'm having trouble coming up with a name for this design - is it "lacy"? or "techno"? hmmmm - i'll have to do some more thinking about this; got any ideas? let me know!

Lacy earrings? Techno earrings?

Now, on to the business of getting ready for my next show, the FABULOUS Chimneyville Show in Jackson, Mississippi. If you have never visited this show, please consider it - it is an indoor event, hundreds of vendors selling the most wonderful, handmade items. I think this show is called a "craft" show but in my opinion, it is more of a "fine craft" or "fine art" show. Truly excellent artwork for sale. Well, no paintings or photography - does that mean it's not an "art" show? Not in my mind! Come see for yourself - this weekend, Saturday & Sunday, Ms. Trade Mart, downtown Jackson, MS. Tell them i sent you & come find me!

I just added these to my website and i just love them - the perfect little gift for yourself or someone else AND the sky's the limit when it comes to word on the disks! I cut the disks myself and hand stamp them - pretty organic and maybe a little funky looking? They can also be earrings - matching or not, which can be a lot of fun. I have plans to make bracelets as well - too many ideas, not enough time. Want to see more? Go HERE:)

So, this is my new logo/business card. it was designed by a very talented graphic designer out of lafayette. I'm happy with the color scheme and with my initials at the top - yes, this is actually how i sign my initials. the fleur de lis is meant to underscore the fact that i live and work in Louisiana - just a little nod to the French culture that permeates much of life here in south Louisiana.

This has been one of my most popular patterns for a couple of years and I recently completed a matching necklace with is truly luxurious. I think the "official" name of this weave is "helm" or "parallel" weave but I call it Vegas....for Las Vegas, slot machines going round & round, right?
