I couldn't help but share this photo as part of the news today - it is amazing, not just the piece itself, but the photograph is too! It is a piece called Root by Sarah Hood. She is having a solo show at the Appalachian Center for Craft, in Smithville TN. The show is called "Small World: Constructed Landscapes," and it runs from September 4 - October 20. This was a new piece made for the show. And I love it! She also just won a PONCHO/Pratt Artist-in-Residence for 2008-2009 from Pratt Fine Arts in Seattle. Sarah has been busy indeed!!

Tonight is the Fort Worth Art Goggle - Ashley Akers of Ashley Jewelry will be there 5 - 10pm - it is located at the Texana lofts at 1206 S Adams - check it out if you are in that area!

Also next weekend is Chicago's Renegade Craft Fair. Quite a few of our fabulous EtsyMetal Members will be there including: Mike and Mary Jewelry, Brooke Medlin (gemmafactrix), Alisa Miller, and Nina Dinoff. Rachael Sudlow will be there helping Brooke, so you can say hi to her too! For more info check out the Renegade site.

Oh! and the theme for the month is.... bezel setting and/or hope. Should include some really interesting interpretations!
