Jewelry Porn, originally uploaded by antigenre. Jewelers and metalsmiths, admit it – you’ve drooled over these books! I discovered this series in my jewelry class at the 92nd Street Y and went right out and bought the lot of them. FYI, they’re much cheaper on Amazon than they are at the Marketfair Barnes & Noble.

Galaxy Ring, originally uploaded by antigenre. I had a pair of my Buckshot earrings that never sold sitting around in my inventory drawer for a long time. I decided to dismantle them and try something different, and this ring is the result! To me, it’s sort of a mod-yet-industrial cocktail ring of sorts. I have [...]

It’s getting close midnight, which means it’s almost time for my birthday sale to start! Actually, the sale is turning into a general celebration sale to mark not only my birthday, but the incredible new political direction that the United States is taking.

Not anymore! In the interesting in generating as much of a web presence as possible, I decided to open a shop on Big Cartel. And while I’m still in the process of getting it set up and working on the design, I thought I’d give it a bit of a mini-debut. Prices and shipping costs [...]

Supplies., originally uploaded by antigenre. All over the news today – on Meet the Press, Hardball, everywhere – people are saying there are only nine days left. Just nine days! I think they counted incorrectly, though, because my birthday is in eleven days, on the 6th of November. Funnily enough, the 6th is the same [...]

The Olympics are Here!!!, originally uploaded by antigenre. I’m more than a little excited that the 2008 Olympics – the best sporting event ever – have finally started!

Discs, originally uploaded by antigenre. Well, I guess I’m not really ‘mass producing’ anything unless making four or five identical pairs of earrings at a time qualifies. The point is, last week I got my first consignment contract! I met with the manager of a museum shop in northern New Jersey who was very enthusiastic [...]
