Thank you from Mary Lu

I was happy and grateful to see my collage pendants mentioned on The Carrotbox jewellery blog this week. If you are not familiar with The Carrotbox, then you must go NOW and check it out. But be warned, it is addicting and there is new delicious eye candy everyday. If you are not an art jewelry addict yet, especially for rings, you will soon be chanting, "Feed my Fingers".

Thank you to The Carrotbox!

I'm also thankful to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton NJ, where you can now find some of my art jewelry for sale in their Museum Gift Shop. I love that place, it is so unique and inspiring. I'm so excited to be able to offer my own art jewelry there. Please make the trip this Spring or Summer, especially if you are in NJ, PA, NY or DE. It is worth the trip!

Finally, I'm sending a belated thank you to the folks at Artella for publishing my how-to article on Making Found Object Art Jewelry. The article was published in December 2009 in Artella's *Art Journaling Journey* online magazine Issue 14.

I always feel good when I see others recycling as a part of making their art. I was glad to share some techniques.

Back to my studio now. Every day I am making something..usually rings. They are starting to appear on my new website. Take a look at www.MaryLuWason.com .

Soldered Art Pendants Now Available



I've been busy this past month, now that the majority of the 2008 Collection is online, learning some new skills. I am having lots of fun soldering. In fact, I think I am addicted. I want to solder everything! Well, I've added several soldered pendants into each of the 3 collections. I'm starting with my favorite images under glass. I hope you enjoy.
Take a look!

And Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day today! I know someone very close to me is drinking with the firemen on Fifth Avenue right now! :)

Whispers under Glass - Charm Pendant with Brass Chain - Amethyst Lobster Unique Jewelry

Just added to the site, a way to purchase the Whispers under Glass Charm Pendants, with or without chain.

I started creating these this past summer and sold out every batch I made at local shows. So, I decided to add them to my official 2008 Collection. They are always attention getters at a show. You cannot read just one! Most people must read them all. It's really quite fun and interesting.

I'm working on a way to recreate that fun experience online. Bear with me. We'll figure it out!
