Stop Motion Fireworks

Though I've been making new jewelry nonstop, I haven't listed anything new in a while...naughty!  Time to get my act together.  Stop Motion Fireworks- Cascade Earrings are especially suited to accompany, say, a 4th of July picnic- or a fancy evening out.

Feeling Chic-ish

On March 27th, 2012, I was deemed officially stylish.

Stylish enough to be photographed and interviewed by Morgan Jordan for Bethesda Magazine's B Chic Style Blog.

Click here to read the interview- and please, try to ignore my awkward phrasing:  I'm an extemporization rookie.

My only true regret is that I was so minimally bedecked in Klewism Jewelry.

The pieces I was wearing in the photo (left) are so subdued
[relatively] that I feel compelled to include an in-your-face collage of one of the rings I was wearing...

     There!  That is much better.

Bidding Anthropomorphized Angels Adieu

I'm saying farewell to two of my rings.  It took me a post on In Harsh Light to express the elaborate 'embalming' ceremony and memorialization which I go through every time I sell a piece- which, in effect became a memorial to my memorialization ceremonies.

In the midst of the memorial-mania, I managed to throw in images of the recently sold rings in digital photo collages.

                                                                 Bye Bye Birdie...

"Bird on the Hand" Ring

Farewell, "Votary of Narcissus" Ring...

Adieu, pretties. 

Klewism In Harsh Light

I'm honored to the point of delirium to now be an author on the razor-wit, erudite-hipster, culture vulture "IT" blog In Harsh Light along with the founder of the feast Richard Sanchez, plus co-bloggers- Mario Munoz, Andréa Balt, & Morpiedra Vasolez.

My inaugural post "An Absurdist Vignette, or a Conversation with Richard Sanchez" seemed to go off swimmingly- smashing good fun complete with Scarface and Highlander references.  

Take a look at In Harsh Light, which has recently been featured on "Freshly Pressed".

Sean Connery is truly fabulous in peacock feathers, is he not?

Pattern Play with Polyvore!

The Inherent Vulnerability of Desire

Diverging Correlatives

An Oxymoron?

Well, yes, but...

the two words still suggest the paradox of creating artwork, deconstructing it, rebuilding it with different forms and sometimes for different functions...basically "recycling" an idea until it's become many other things with a hidden thread between them.

For example, when I sell a piece of Jewelry, I proceed to make packaging for the specific item sold.  This involves photography of said item, making digital collages, then printing them.  Phase 2: Choosing paints, and grabbing my Xacto knife in order to make intricate paper cuttings of the digital collages just printed...I won't even go any further than this.  I've suggested several of the stages of building something, breaking it down, and remaking it in dozens of permutations from there.  And so on, to reference another literary inspiration of mine, Kurt Vonnegut.

Now some multi-exposures of the custom box for the Sympathy for a Cyclops Ring.
