Had some leftover bits of silver so I melted them together to form this organic rock-like pendant. Found a suitable garnet to set into it and a lovely rough pendant was born.
I feel reusing everything is just the most satisfying end result.

The Irish Silver Museum in Waterford, Ireland, is a silver & jewelry store with an attached exhibition of silver items. Among them is a sword that King Edward IV gave to the city. #Silver #WaterfordMuseums #Waterford #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day6/#564
I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.
I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)
I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.
Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.
We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.
The other day my friend Kacie Lees and I ran another one of our BYOG mirror parties at Urbanglass. I felt kinda bad sending Ari the registrar out for a last minute paper cup run for mixing chemicals, but my heart was warmed when she hung the glass chain we mirrored for her on her desk.
Speaking of Mirrors, you can catch, Your Magic Is Real at Urbanglass in downtown Brooklyn. It has lots of mirrors in it- and you will need to work with a friend and hold hands to activate it.
If you REALLY have FOMO, Kacie and I are teaching a more intense mirror and neon class in a few weeks. Mirror World will run in the evenings at Urbanglass- March 25th-29th and is a neon AND mirror class. I attached a photo of a rainbow celebration sculpture I made at a show Kacie curated on Governors Island back in 2019. I really gotta return to that silver rainbow body of work.
We're so happy to share this META FREE space with you! 
![This black and white photograph captures a moment of protest or public expression, likely from the early to mid-20th century given its style. It features six individuals standing in line on what appears to be an asphalt surface with wet patches, suggesting recent rain.
On the left side of the photo stand five people facing towards someone off-camera; their expressions are serious and somewhat disengaged. From left to right: a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and coat stands arms crossed, exuding a sense of defiance or contemplation; next is another individual in a heavy coat with both hands clasped together, appearing reserved or cautious.
The third person from the left wears glasses atop their head, indicating they may be balding. In front of this trio stand two more people: one clad in a dark coat and hat holds a bag on her arm, while beside her is another individual who appears slightly younger with shorter hair, wearing sunglasses pushed up onto his forehead.
On the right side stands an older man facing forward towards the camera. He wears glasses, a cap, and what seems to be work clothes—indicating he may not have been prepared for this gathering or has different reasons for being there than those on the left.

![The photograph is a black and white, candid shot featuring several people gathered outdoors during what appears to be a protest or demonstration. At the center of attention is an individual holding a megaphone up towards their mouth, suggesting they are addressing the crowd with a speech or announcement. Around them stand other individuals who seem engaged in listening attentively; some have crossed arms and others display various expressions ranging from focused contemplation to mild concern.
The setting seems urban as there's visible infrastructure such as houses with pitched roofs and what appears to be a stone wall, hinting at an outdoor location possibly close to residential areas. The gathering is informal, lacking any formal organization that can be discerned through the image. Everyone in attendance has on jackets or coats suggesting it might be cold.
The individuals are of mixed genders; there's diversity amongst ages and clothing styles visible as well which implies a spontaneous crowd rather than an organized event. There’s no explicit indication of the cause they're rallying for, but given historical context such gatherings often involved protests against apartheid during South Africa's struggle for liberation from white-minority rule.
