The other night I was watching “Work of Art” on TV. It is a new Bravo reality TV show based on artists. It is very much like “Project Runway” but for artists. Since I loved (I think I still do love) Project Runway I watched Work of Art.

First the show is very similar to Project Runway but for artists. But my huge OMG moment was when I saw Miles Mendenhall. Miles went to the University of MN roughly around the same time as me and we actually worked  together. My six degrees of separation with the world just got smaller.  Here is a photo of Miles and a link to the bravo tv show.

I will tell you this ,I am on Team Miles.

There has been a change of venue. I will officially be at the 331 Club for Art A Whirl. I will be there Saturday only from 10 til probably 8 or 9. Art A Whirl is the premiere art crawl of NE Minneapolis. I personally believe it is the best art crawl in MN. Yes, even better than the Saint Paul Art Crawl, and yes I do live in Saint Paul.

At the 331, I will be showing my new seven deadly sins necklaces, egg nest necklaces, train people jewelry, and much more . So please come and join us this is sure to be an amazing event.

Just finished up the first show of the year, the MN Green Expo. The show was really great and its nice to dust off the cobwebs and get back in the swing of things. It was also nice to see some familiar faces and lots of new faces. That is the fun thing of doing a non standard art show, you meet people who would otherwise not know of you.

So if you did meet us this weekend make sure you follow us on our facebook page. This is the best way to have up to date information and specials.

I also hope to be adding recipes on my website soon. If you dont know I love to cook. I am just fascinated by it an kind of think of myself as a very serious amateur chef. One of the things chef Lefthand (that would be me) hopes to do is make almost all my meals from my garden. On of the things I am growing this year is Beet Chioggia. Isnt it gorgeous, I just love the stripes. I will let you know what I do with them. Once they grow beyond seedlings.

Well have a great week. Hope to see you as a fan on facebook.

Here is a look at some necklaces for the 2010 collection. Some are available on etsy, some will only be available at shows. Speaking of shows, check out the Upcoming Events link it is all updated. We are going coast to coast, so if you thought we would never make it out your way, well we just might this year.

Tattoo inspired sterling silver necklace.

Part of my new I heart Collection.

This collection is about things I love.

Yup, I sure do like talking.

New and fantastic mini diorama jewelry.

Every time I see this necklace I want to sing the Monty Python Lumberjack Song.

Once again it has been a while since I have posted. Part of the reason why, is my other job.  Two years ago I became an art teacher. Now while I love my job, it is very time consuming, and sometimes things like posting to my blog go to the way side, but I am going to try posting more. Which brings me to my next conclusion, my new facebook Page! Please go on over to our facebook page and become a fan. When you become a fan you will know all the up to date information on Lefthand Originals, from shows to new works and everything in between.

In other news I am busy working on the new 2010 collection. Here is a sneak peak.
