a few words about our new line.....

our newest pieces really evolved very organically...we take turns working on each piece. we cull our
materials from family and friends, we cycle beautiful pieces into new relationships with different eras,
colors, textures, and stories
when we are unsure how to finish or elaborate further, sometimes we
read out loud to each other as we work.... pablo neruda, smog lyrics, oscar wilde, m.f.k. fisher, or excerpts from the scrabble dictionary... eclectic and structural, vibrant and irreverent, passionate and poised....
it's amazing how the power of words accentuates the experience of creating. we see each piece as a story
in essence...as if all of the vintage lace ( my great-grandmother's ) and chains, cameos, beads,
ribbon, leather scraps, broaches; of a more recent, previous ownership; become at once new and
honored for their own past.
it is our endeavor to design not only aesthetically, but also conceptually.
i see our newest pieces as a visual relationship...like that "perfect dinner party" to which you could invite dostoyevski and emily post, tom waits, and mozart, johnny rotten and bridget bardot....
and there you have it.....
