Finally some news!

Hello friends,
My selling season has officially begun! I will be at Granville Island Market in Vancouver this weekend, from Friday to Monday, 9 am to 7 pm. Come and look for me at my table (not sure where it will be this time, but you'll find me.) I will also be at the Saturday Market on Salt Spring Island most weekends starting on April 17. Stop by and check out the new collection!
I'm doing less and less jewellery these days, and the funnest thing I'm making right now is a collection of mason jars with blackened steel lids, with silver and gold damascene inlay.

These are the crazy, elaborate, extravagant ones which I am entering in international art shows and competitions. They have already been accepted to the annual exhibition in Fiskars, Finland, and 5 of them are en route there as I write. ($500 each):


I have also created a production line of these jars, a little simpler and more affordable ($40 each):

Excellent for storing all kinds of dry goods on your kitchen counter, (tea, coffee, sugar, etc.); for displaying collections of beach glass, pebbles, buttons or other treasures; can also be used in the bathroom for q-tips, cotton balls, bath balls, etc. Just a few suggestions!

And of course, I'll still have lots of belt buckles, cuffs, key rings, and some art pieces as well.

Hope to see you all soon! Watch this space to find out where I'll be next!

Karin
