Production

I spend weeks building a portfolio of one-of-a-kind items. However, as the time approaches for a spate of shows, I have to turn to the old and familiar. Accordingly I produced 5 variants of the old B-3 mobile the other night. Then I went back to relatively easy one of a kind. Night before last I spent an hour to produce one mobile consisting of quartz and fluorite in silver. Last night I combined green malachite and lime green beach glass, The malachite is smooth and featureless which makes it unwilling to stay inside a wire cage. No two stones are alike, thus no two cages are alike. I intend to wrap 4 elements in this mobile. Nevertheless, it will wind up taking as long as the quartz and fluorite which had 5 elements. The quartz and fluorite as well as the B-3 can be viewed on my website (www.jwoodrff.com/crystal).
