Made in 2005, here's a cuff bracelet from my ‘transparency' series, one of several pieces I made for an ‘artist-of-the-month spotlight' in a fine craft gallery in Vancouver that same year. At the time I was really into Josef Alber’s book Interaction of Colour and his influence in the overlapping colour is apparent. But so much of what defined the design aesthetic of this series had nothing to do with Albers and more to do with life living on Canada’s rugged West Coast. These other influences were much more present and much more personal: the muted natural palette, the pentaradial geometry inspired by sand dollars and sea urchins, the loose organic shapes inspired by the beach pebbles found only a stone's throw (ahem) from our house, and the use of polymer ‘grains’ inspired by Tracy's innovative imitative pebble techniques that were also very prevalent in our studio during that time. I miss that coastal landscape.
Many of the techniques used in this bracelet are now a part of my Five Star Beads workshop. If you want to see some companion pieces from this series, you can find them on flickr, starting here:

This was the scene a couple weeks ago from Battery Spencer. Anyone who could justify or rationalize being awake at 3-something in the morning to be properly prepared for a trip to the bridge (4-something for being improperly prepared--haha), was treated to a particularly lovely dawn around the Bay Area.
I mainly just took it all in, remembering to expose a few frames, too.
The skies are beautiful and lavish gifts to all of us. Let's all enjoy them before they find out a way to charge us for them! Haha.
As always, thanks for coming around, chiming in, or just having a look!

I forgot to invert my image before printing on transparency to make a negative and ended up with a positive image on the sheet. I don't like to waste...
