    On a recent SCUBA dive, bottlenose dolphins kept a very large school of sardines swirling around us for the entire dive. The school moved around circling at different levels in the water and changed direction in all three dimensions. The amazing experience is something I wanted to capture in a jewelry design. Sitting on a…

    Fellow art jeweler Fran Grinels and I had a wonderful evening at the Lireille Gallery on Friday August 7th. We were amazed at the turnout for our first ever artists’ reception as featured artists. Most of the pieces seen in the case remain at Lireille Gallery. The work on the black velvet pad is my private…

    During the month of June 2009, the Menlo Park Library in Menlo Park, CA hosted an exhibit of jewelry, books and tools from the Metal Arts Association of Silicon Valley. Three of my pieces are shown above, and one is just below the sign (inside the gold colored wire necklace) in the photo below. The…

    Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised when my artist’s copy of “500 Knives” by Lark Books was delivered.  My “Khanjar” letter opener (page 267) slices open envelopes very well, when it’s allowed to see some action. After making it, I decided it was more of a display piece. I need to make myself a letter opener…

    After forgetting my recycled bottle glass display materials, I improvised an earring display borrowing materials local to Mendocino, CA. I had hoped that it would be a unique display in the gallery shop of the Mendocino Art Center, and luckily it is. Since this is the first time my work has been for sale in…

    We had hoped to be able to see some Sea Lions on the trip to the Loreto National Marine Park in the Sea of Cortez, because we knew they liked to hang out there at least part of the year. Our dive guide, Rafael from the Dolphin Dive Center gave us the opportunity to watch…

    The boat ride with the bottlenose dolphins was great. The very next day, on our boat ride out to the dive sites, we saw this ~ 200 member pod of common dolphins. If I turned my head to the left and looked I could see dolphins, and if I turned my head all the way…
