I am loving the idea that these are going to be pins too--makes designing the elements a new challenge, plus I get to use my metalsmithing degree a bit more!

Here's a few drawings for the Portland Building installation I did while traveling south last week. I'll post more in a few days.

have nothing in your houses which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful

I decided that my upcoming Portland Building installation needs a new angle after reading the above quote by William Morris. It won't look visually different, but I think this installation needs to double as something "useful," in this case, I want to make every element a piece of wearable art: brooches on the walls and the parts that vine under the carpet would be necklaces. Adds a bit more work, but I'm hoping to be able to hire some extra hands to help me make it happen. Still need to find my title. Unghhhh..that's always the hardest part!
