Turning out some more playful neon fluorescence for late summer jewelry: powder coated metal mesh and re-purposed vintage '80s sequin swatches...

And on the horizon for Fall: A variety of 'framed mesh' sautoirs!

BIG THINGS / BIG SUMMER Designer Marketplace

BIG THINGS / BIG SUMMER Designer Marketplace at San Francisco's Asterisk Gallery was a great time with some fantastic women. I was privileged to show the mesh jewelry in their company. Thanks to everyone who came out!

From the top: Event producer/curator Rebecca Goldschmidt, helming BIG THINGS's table of bright, playful wares; fluid garments featuring rich prints from original artwork by Serial Cultura; more original artwork--the bright ties on this summer's perfect maillots from Brooklyn's Feral Childe; modern, sculptural, hand-felted jewelry and homewares from Papaver Vert; ultra-soft knits in complex colors and mind-blowing patterns by Micaela Greg.

red, white, and blue... pink, orange, and green...

Turns out I do have a tricolor post for today, although it's of a decidedly more personal bent... neon green, orange, and pink! Playful baubles for summer - made with fluorescent sequins culled from the most amazing vintage '80s bomber jacket. In the shop soon.

Happy 4th of July!

Perusing the wares on a breezy Sunday afternoon...

The owner of these amazing eyes was kind enough to let me take a few shots while she tried on a new headpiece.

Headpieces! Okay, the bottom one is actually a neckplate, but the top is a new direction in mesh headpieces.
