spring cleaning ...

chinese bronze repro coin amulet necklace


I reworked another piece from last year that I just wasn't quite happy with.  I like it much better now.  It was a little too "cutesy" before, even if it's kinda on the heavy side now.

I've also started signing my work.  Someone bought one of my bracelets recently and is re-selling it, at a hugely inflated price, on her website.  Not like I have any control over what someone does with my stuff once it leaves my hands, but this just isn't sitting well with me.  Like it dilutes the energies I try to put into the piece.  So I bought a little battery operated engraving tool and I'm signing my pieces; "maggie zee" if there's enough room and "mz" if there isn't.

    1. Thank you. That's really nice of you to say. I should have been signing it all along, but I'm a slow learner.

  2. Lovely connection. Lovely piece.
    Bravo on signing your work. I have been signing my larger pieces but don't always find a place on smaller work that isn't obtrusive.
    Initials might work on some.

    1. Your work is so original, I think it would be recognized right away. I'm thinking about getting one of those microstamps made, if I can part with the $$$. Then I'd stamp a tag (which could be removed, I suppose).
