Ptarmigan Party Pendant

It's been a whirlwind month, filled with lots of goodbyes (friends leaving for the summer), plenty of work, and lots of plans for more art collaborations here in Phoenix!

Here's one of the last pieces I was able to finish before the end of my spring jewelry class.

It's a copper and leather pendant which doubles as a bottle opener for my friend Peter, scientist-artist-musician extraordinaire who is researching ants with the Smithsonian this summer in Panama. He's the guy behind this band which you should definitely listen to: http://ptarmigan.bandcamp.com/

My parting gift:

Leather and copper; acid-etched, pierced, domed, soldered, with patina.


and Peter:


Party pendants are serious business.

And so is his music. Seriously, check it out. I don't know one person who doesn't love the stuff.
