Happy Friday, I’m enjoying a pitcher of Vesper martinis on the rooftop on this gloriously bright, sunny day. Not only is today the end of a good week, but my subscription to Art Jewelry magazine kicked in and I’m enjoying the article about Kiwon Wang (one of my favorite jewelry artists) who is curating an exhibit on contemporary Korean jewelry artists at the Fuller Craft Museum. I thought this day couldn’t get any better but right on my doorstep was my supply order from Rio Grande. Now (after these martinis wear off) I can get to work on my twig neckpiece. I’m so excited!
