Jennifer Cross Gans
While all eyes were on the speakers at the 2010 SNAG conference in Houston, here at AJF we managed to spend a little bit of time scanning the crowds for notable jewelry sitings. These portraits were taken by our very own answer to Annie Lebovitz, AJF member Jennifer Cross Gans. And if you have any photographs of jewelry-wearing conference attendees, please send them in so we can post them in our Gallery of Good Gems.
Jillian Moore’s shoulder was a perch for Wurmiz, a Star Wars-like creature crafted in foam, epoxy, pigment and metal spines.
Satomi Kawaii wore a necklace in copper and pigment.
Marjorie Schick had fun with two puzzle necklaces from Wal-Mart, and a pin swap pin by AJF member Mike Holmes.
Marjorie Simon, who had an exhibition of her work at the conference, showed off a black Perspex flower pin.
Harriete Estel Berman, the Queen of Tin, wearing her latest Flower Pins.
Linda Savineau, who flew from Belgium to attend the SNAG conference, sported her green acrylic neckpiece at the closing night party.
Why is it that only weird jewelry gets attention? What about real metalsmithing and lapidary artists? I’m not sure my work fits into SNAG anymore. I continue to sell more and more so I must be doing something right.
