Field of (Recycled Shoe) Dreams

UK artist Dominic Wilcox recently created a grassy field from over four hundred eco-friendly shoes at London Design Week. Sponsored by Terra Plana, the ethical shoe company, Wilcox applied a touch of gardening magic to the recycled shoe laces as they rose up in unison and towards the window's light creating a dazzling field of renewal.

Ceca's Green Jewelry from Summer 2009

The colorful autumn leaves will soon be swirling all around us, but I am still nostalgic for these fresh green jewelry experiments by Bulgarian artist friend, Ceca Georgieva. Stay tuned for a Winter 2010 project that Ceca and I will initiate at her studio hide-a-way at the base of Mount Vitosha outside of Sofia.

Putting Down Roots Again

It's quiet time to readjust to NYC and finish up a new project. Working hard to 'protect beauty'. Stay tuned.
