April 26, 2012 || April 2012 MN Monthly – How To: Make a Statement with Accessories
I have been so busy lately that there have been more meltdowns than jams in the studio….which is a bummer. I am so grateful that business is better than ever but DANG…I need to hire some help. This week I managed to catch up. Feeling good. It’s a “no meltdown Friday.” I’m playing some Cat Power and telling myself that I WILL get it all done. Chan Marshall is my hero…in more ways than one.
Art-A-Whirl is the largest open-studio tour in the country. It’s a great opportunity to tour private artist studios, galleries, and over 50 locations in Northeast Minneapolis, connect with the artists, and purchase original artwork. If you are in Minneapolis, PLEASE check out this event….there is so much to see! This will be Carrier Pigeon’s 1st Art-A-Whirl in the new studio and I am really excited to open the doors to my workshop.
Stop by and be the first to shop our new Spring/Summer Collection! These pieces have yet to hit any boutiques.
For $50 and under we will have colorful necklaces, bracelets & ankle bracelets made from gorgeous African Trade Beads.
The Matchstick Ring (pictured above) will be available to purchase for the first time for only $30! We will have a limited supply of all exclusive pieces, so get there early.

Take a look at what myself and some other artists in my building are up to for Art-A-Whirl. Thanks to Todd at TWVS for putting the video together.
I recently made this custom Matchstick Ring for my super talented, ever fabulous friend Ra’mon-Lawrence Coleman, to go along with his new set of Matchstick Cuff Bracelets. I love it so much, I’m going to make it a part of my permanent collection. It works better than the cast version I think. Looks amazing next to one of his own designs.
I have been following Ra’mon’s career for years now and am truly inspired by everything he does. He’s always up to something amazing….have a look for yourself.
