Maridadi by Bridget  to the rescue!

I am hosting a studio show in late October.  Expect an invite.

 


I took these photos
 in the Rufino Tamayo Museum of Pre-Hispanic Art
  in Oaxaca,  Mexico.     

The statues are from the PreClassical Period 
(1,250 B.C - 200 A.D.)   

Let us Honor History!

  It was not only the prevalence of jewelry in the museums that captured me.   

But the color and vibrancy that surrounded us.  

Markets, textiles, buildings, music, food, all of it containing an 

energetic force and joyful display.  "Here we are!" it shouted

Feast your eyes, feast your senses.  

And we did. 

 

 

And, once I was back in my studio, designing necklaces, I found myself reaching for color

 

 

Since then I’ve been to Cape Town -- reforged my African connection

And returned to Durham with suitcases weighted with wonderful beads

I've been designing up a storm

So as I go to various things in the neighborhood, I find people wearing 

your necklaces and loving them!    (email from R. in Boston)

Someone stopped me in the airport to ask about my necklace.  (S. in Paris)

My husband buys me really expensive jewelry, but when I travel 

I always choose to take the ones you made.   (M. in California)

I wish I had your business cards.  People are always asking 

where I got my necklaces!  (L. tells me this regularly)
