Hello friends. I know that it has been quiet in my shop this year and I want to thank you for your patience. As some of you may know, my dad died in February and that has completely turned my world upside down. I have been struggling to keep my grief from swallowing me whole.
At such a difficult time in my life I would have expected my art to be my comfort and to help me heal alas...not yet. Perhaps I just had to allow myself to be broken and sit with that before I could begin to feel life again.
I am finally now starting to find my curiosity in the studio and as I spend more time sitting at the bench and touching the tools, I find myself becoming drawn to want to work with the metal again...but in different ways. So I am experimenting and hopefully I will soon begin to share some of those new works with you here.
Thank you for your support.
Peace,
Q~

5 out of 5 starsI love this whimsical necklace, mainly because its fun. I’m looking forward to see if anyone tells me they know what it is. I’m in the Northeast and many people here are very familiar with NYC. NYC reminds me of my teen years, many moons ago. The design around it and the the dangles are perfect. The Qandle quality dominates. The chain is perfect for the pendant.

Balance
Growing up in a rust belt city means that you most likely played on abandoned railroad tracks and snuck into abandoned warehouses. You probably found all sorts of interesting metal "debris" by the track- things that might be hanging on your wall or on a cord around your neck.
Here in Cleveland though, it also meant being surrounded by nature. Once known as the forest city, we have an amazing network of parks that surrounds us. So spending time in old industrial areas was balanced with running barefoot through the woods and finding equally interesting stones, bones, leaves and such.
I think the body of my work has always found itself somewhere between these two worlds. Some pieces feel decidedly more industrial while others are more natural in their form. For me, like most of us in life...I am just trying to strike a balance.

It is the coolest thing EVER- to create something that someone out there discovers, identifies with and then ultimately owns. It is one way that I can connect to people all over the world. Like I said- that's cool
