8... An Interview

As if you couldn't get enough of me already, lol, pop over to the Art Bead Scene Blog today for an interview of yours truly. I was asked by the very talented Lynn Davis if I wouldn't mind answering a few questions and I said "I'd love to". It was great to slow down, grab a cup of coffee and reflect on why I do what I do/make what I make. I still can't get over the idea that I have been "interviewed" (and more then once recently). It is crazy! But awesome at the same time. I am honored that people want to hear what I have to say.

Sometimes I have to stop and laugh at myself and how lucky I am. I get moody and complain about this or that around my house and life. People don't do this or they don't do that. Someone needs to pick up their underwear up off the floor or I am going to throw it in the wood burner kind of tirades happen a lot. But, yesterday, I had a few hours of quiet and I got to have a photo shoot with myself wearing fun, brightly colored jewelry. How cool is that?!? Really, how many people get to play dress up when they are 30, take pictures, and post blogs about it? I don't know anyone.



"Strength In Numbers" ~ I told ya it looked really cool on.


"Side Swept" ~ More on this piece tomorrow.


"New Snagged Style" ~ It is on the short / tight side and I like it like that. You can wear it with any neckline.


"Mystery Design" - More on this tomorrow too. And are you wondering what I am looking at out the window? SNOW!! Yes, it has started snowing in NY, YOO HOO!

I do SO LOVE your wire and glass designs, I'm especially loving these. The first thing I thought with the 'short' version was - I bet you could design and add a lengthener piece that doubles as a bracelet so you'd have a longer necklace too - Crazy huh?

Oh fun idea Lynn. I was sorting jewlery in the studio this morning and wrapped that around me wrist twice, it was a tad too long. Kinda in between two wraps and three. If I make it longer it could work as both!

I popped on over after I read the interview on art bead scene blog... I am floored by how creative your work is! I really love colors and your beads definitely have this quirky quality about them that is fantastic!! =D

Kerry said...

Thanks everyone!

Meekiyu ~ welcome! and thanks for coming by. My beads are kinda quirky aren't they? Good vocabulary word, I had forgotten about that one :)

I love Side Swept.

But I need to know how it feels to wear very asymmetrical things. Does it take getting used to or do the sides weight the same?

Inquiring minds.

Kerry, your work is fantastic!!! I feel like I got a total bonus treat this morning in my Friday inbox with the Art Bead Scene update. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I feel the same way about being lucky--when you get to dress up and take pictures of things that came out of your own brain into something you think is reall cool. I love it!

Kerry said...

Thanks so much again gals!

Welcome to all the newbies, I hope you'll keep coming back!!

I absolutely covet the new Snagged Style necklace. Love the colors and that it's short and a little more demure than some of the other designs. Also like the new, lite version of Strength in Numbers. You are going to do great at the show.
