Pamela Dueweke


My friend Pamela Dueweke makes the most intriguing face beads out of clay, with interesting glazes and markings. I wired one up with one of my beads in a contrasting but complimentary color. There is something about faces that pull people in. Several gallery owners have mentioned this to me, about the popularity of "face" jewelry. I used to make face jewelry a long time ago, I might have to revisit those faces again sometime. Maybe we are all looking to see if we recognize someone in these faces, or wondering if we can see any sign of ourselves in them. I am drawn to peaceful faces and loud laughing ones.
