Having a sort out tidy in the studio cause I think I actually need to rest the old thumb, just for a bit.

An article back from 2001 in the Sunday telegraph magazine. The Joyousness of miniature.
Love this miniature junk-food charm bracelet of @patchnyc . At this time I was make my miniature kitchen utensils in silver.
I had the artic for all these years & then I met & because friends with the lovely @doncarneyart & @johnross.art when we used to do NYNow trade fair.
They are due to close their amazing store in Boston this month (I believe) but not to worry they will still have their treasures on their website & have more time to create some seriously incredible joyful work.

While I’m sad that the ever special and charming @patchnyc is closing today (you can still shop online), I am very excited to see what collabs & popups these handsome fellows will get into. I’ll just have to visit them a lot to get my in person shopping fix. I feel so fortunate for their friendship over the years.💓
