Perhaps you noticed this necklace?

It's our latest design: a contrast oxidized throat grill made of hand-finished solid sterling silver and leather.

We used to specialize in bold chunky jewelry in non-precious materials like nylon and steel. But when the production costs rose and the quality didn't, we decided to discontinue those materials and focus exclusively on heirloom quality metals like sterling silver.

For a while, this meant designing smaller items. But we really missed the big "F-OFF" statement pieces we used to make, so we figured out ways to create them again, this time in premium materials. Our 2.0 versions are a bit more versatile: unisex and uni-size. Because the pieces will likely outlive you, you should be able to pass them on to whomever you like.

A solid sterling silver neckpiece with black leather straps rests on a lab-glass tub. The outer surfaces of the intricate silver design are polished to a mirror finish. The recessed areas are contrast oxidized to a matte black finish, adding extra depth and dimension to the piece.

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

me, wearing red and pink kitchen gloves, with a funnel, and all the fire polished lols attached end to end with latex tubing hanging down. bottles of chemicals and messy dryer pan are on the table.

six lols against a black painted table, with their ends fire polished
The long tube with all six lols in it... actually I think there was another tube of lols. Box of tissues and red stabilo 8008 pencil and white block on the non metallic table. Student in the background.

In other news, GIFs are fixed!!! (After being broken yesterday). 🎉 This kind of responsiveness to the real issues of today is unmatched — which is why we're officially endorsing @dansup for U.S. President 2028. 🇺🇸🔥


Both GIFs and video posts still seem to be displaying with strange cropping on the mobile app but at least we can post them again after yesterday's scare. And full frame content can still be enjoyed on the desktop version. 🧩🧩🧩😎

The other day my friend Kacie Lees and I ran another one of our BYOG mirror parties at Urbanglass. I felt kinda bad sending Ari the registrar out for a last minute paper cup run for mixing chemicals, but my heart was warmed when she hung the glass chain we mirrored for her on her desk.

Speaking of Mirrors, you can catch, Your Magic Is Real at Urbanglass in downtown Brooklyn. It has lots of mirrors in it- and you will need to work with a friend and hold hands to activate it.

If you REALLY have FOMO, Kacie and I are teaching a more intense mirror and neon class in a few weeks. Mirror World will run in the evenings at Urbanglass- March 25th-29th and is a neon AND mirror class. I attached a photo of a rainbow celebration sculpture I made at a show Kacie curated on Governors Island back in 2019. I really gotta return to that silver rainbow body of work.

This is one of our favorite designs. As molten silver flows through this casting and crystalizes, its geometry captures potential energy. When the investment is broken away, that energy converts into motion, and the twisted form unravels. It then has to be annealed and re-twisted back into this spiraling maze.

"Men’s Accessories Won the 2025 Oscars". See link below to this refreshing article we read last week. It's so nice to see men taking fashion risks again. After what, 4 decades? We guess we'll count the 70's as cool.

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain taught us the joy of simple sensations—like sinking your hands into a barrel of beans. But have you ever felt a tumbler full of tiny ceramic spheres and cylinders? Close your eyes, listen closely, and let the sound take you there. ✨🔊 #ASMR #SatisfyingSounds

...But it's a lot less fun picking the ceramic out of all those lattices...lol.
