This is amazing. Bodies are amazing! Men who can mooooove are amazing.

New rings, necklaces, earrings at both Shopgirls and Arts on King! New work about to go up on the etsy site too. Busybusybusy.

A great video on a show, All Freedom in Every Sense by Lee Bontecou, which really impacted me last year at the MOMA in New York. Both Lee Bontecou’s work with unusual materials and her aesthetic appeal to me greatly. Check out this 5 minute talk by the curator of the show, Veronica Roberts.
