July open studios

This month I'll be showing some new work in #418 as part of the "Water Paintings Project," which you can read more about here. Inspired by what's going on in the Gulf ecosystem and from having grown up and lived on both coasts, I'm focused on water these days. I'm not sure where it came from but I try to follow the inner muse, so my palette is looking really different!
See you soon, Hannah

Sketching with metal: Tasha Rae Jewelry
I've been working on new series of necklaces in my sketching collection. They are all one of a kind sketches in metal: like individual canvases. I start by randomly drilling tiny holes into a sterling silver disc and then I feed my saw blade through and start 'drawing'. There's never a plan: just a moment in time. A true one-of-a-kind charm. Perfect for a simple necklace to be worn alone or layered with many more.



Piercing in progress. All piercing done by hand.
