The Fifth Element: Stories in Wearable Art

Many of the works of this year’s collection sold and are going to wonderful homes. These story pieces are all one of a kind. You would think that over the years I would have gotten a little more pragmatic about seeing my works sell, but there is always a little tug at my heart in letting them go. Because the stories come from a deep place, there will always be a connection to the work.

To say goodbye to the work properly I have a little sign & kiss ritual that helps me send “my babies” to their new homes. Each work gets hand signed with a graver (engraved) then they are placed into their hardwood box with a kiss.

Bye-bye babies!
