2012
Opening new (and old) trade routes!
2012 started in 3rd gear!
Designs approved, production happening, presentations presented.
New Chapter.
New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Dallas, and back to New York by April -
( not to count some Denver action as well!)
Some of the projects can’t be revealed until Holiday or even next year, but let’s just say it is both daunting & exciting to be back in the saddle.
I think 2 more cities will be added to the route soon, along with some off-shore design work.
The new studio, as soon as it gets finished, will be very busy.....
(Now we are busy in every inch of the living room, hallway, yard, shed, kitchen, etc)
The first project to be installed this year was titled
Stone Clouds I, II, & III.
They are Mica, Stainless Steel and Glass with Stainless findings.
They were commissioned by the Neiman Marcus Group for the new store in Walnut Creek, California. Installed in February for the March opening.
Terry, Nicole and Jeri fabricated the 20,000 pieces that made up these beauties.
(When I was galavanting around the country on other projects)
Although we have been doing work for the Neiman Marcus Group off and on (mostly on) since 2001, this is the first it is part of the Neiman Marcus Corporate Art Collection.
They reside in the fashion jewelry and precious jewelry department.
It was an honored to be both receive the commssion,
but also have the opportunity to install it myself. My hosts were a class act as usual.
Thank you so Deborah Cussen for sending the photos after opening!
