Tamra Gentry – earrings

November’s Artist of the Month is Tamra Gentry.  She’s a regular Hammermarks reader and when I checked out her work I had to give her some blog love.  I also love the fact that she’s a scientist as well as an artist.  It is possible to use both sides of your brain, she’s living proof!  Personally I’ve always found it to be a bunch of mularky and excuses that artists can’t use logic, or math, or do science related things.  Science and math take a great deal of imagination to develop proofs, come up with theories, discover new worlds and new civilizations (wait that’s Star Trek).  Anyway, I digress.  Check out her blog, website and of course buy her work!

She uses fold-forming, hammer texture, large one-of-a-kind gemstones, sound like anyone familiar?  But her designs are different from mine.  She has a cleaner, modder (is that even a word?!) style than mine.  Check her out and see for yourself.  Show some support and comment on her blog.

PS Look for her awesome anvil stand in her blog, I have total tool envy of it.
