One chilly winter’s night in New York while getting ready for a date with a beautiful architect, I unwittingly launched
a jewelry collection. Eager to show up with something unpredictable, I improvised two miniature wire-sculptures.
                      This was new ground for me: I had never made anything so small nor parted with original  artwork so readily.
     When the appetizer arrived I placed my gifts into her hands. She posed them playfully atop a
              tomato slice in our Greek salad. Art show? Check please! After dessert, I rinsed off the dressing applied a layer of wax
                           and cast them into bronze (sans tomato). A few weeks later we were wearing them.
