METAL INCLINATIONS (an online exhibition) by the SOCIETY OF MIDWEST METALSMITHS

p_paredes_walker.jpg

It’s here at last! The online catalog for the Society of Midwest Metalsmiths’ Metal Inclinations exhibition is up and running.

Fifty amazing metal sculptures and jewelry works were selected from hundreds of entriEs for this juried exhibition. The exhibition will be available online until the end of 2009.

“Turkey Walker” (shown above), by Miel-Margarita Paredes, is one piece from this exhibition that I found most intriguing. At first glance it looks like one of Sid’s mutant toys from Pixar’s film, “Toy Story”. But after visiting this artist’s website and reading more about her work, I discovered that the piece was not just a random act of metal meets juxtaposed assembly, but rather, entirely intentional in its meaning and exectution.

If you are at all interested in the arts of metalsmithing and jewelry-making, I’m sure you will throughly enjoy the Society of Midwest Metalsmiths’ Metal Inclinations catalog. Don’t be a turkey, check it out!

I was just perusing my friend, Julia’s shop on Etsy, as I often do, and I noticed that she is having a fantastic CLEARANCE sale on her wonderful handmade bags. Several of the bags are up to 50% off! This is a super-talented chic (and very-soon-to-be-mommy), so be sure to check out her market totes before they disappear! You can see more of Julia’s work HERE.
