Trunk Show

A successful trunk show up in MD last night, thanks to those who came and supported Copper Chameleon!
Just got a Blackberry- fun! Tomorrow dress shopping with my mom and sisters. Back to NC on Sunday.
I realize this is a dull post, but I just wanted to try out some mobile blogging. Don't worry I won't be making a habit of it... it's kinda difficult with these tiny buttons.

Charmed Show

Charmed, an exhibition of artist-made charms in the Store at Contemporary Craft is available now through March 2010.


Forty nationally recognized jewelers created charms in a variety of materials, from silver, gold, and enamel, to silk, plastic, suede, and romance novels. Priced between $20 and $500, you can create a collection of your favorite on a charm bracelet, or wear them individually as a pendant. In addition, DIY (do-it-yourself) charms are available for $10 each--stamp something meaningful onto a sterling silver oval and add it to your collection.


Participating artists include:


Robert Ebendorf, Sarah Holden, Becky I. Chader, Victoria Altepeter, Rob Jackson, Raissa Bump, Kathryn Osgood, Colleen Heineman, Tedd McDonah, Margaux Lange, Kat Cole, Jen Townsend, Cappy Counard, Marlene True, Stacy Rodgers, Mary Hallam Pearse, James Thurman & Sandie Zilker, Lynn Batchelder, Robert Longyear, Brittany Sondberg, Ana Lopez, Erica Stankwytch Bailey, Vince Pontillo, Adrienne M.

Warm It Up Chris!

So it was about 58 and sunny yesterday-beautiful. However today its 38 going down to about 18 with 3-6 inches of snow and sleet headed our way and more tomorrow. Not to mention a "real feel" of about 11 tomorrow night.

I have found some warmth inspiring photos to share. I feel kinda bad mixing some great Rothko's with yellow shoes and daisies, but it just worked.

Warm it up Chris.

Big Love

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Big enameled copper heart necklaces are now available on the Copper Chameleon website!

Just a peek...

Here is a brief example of some 2010 color trends...exciting!

Elm Street Window Contest

A group of Lyndon Street Artists have been working ourselves crazy on this "Whiskey Tango" window display.
It is made up of aluminum sheet and un-recyclable white painted trash. Ironically most of what you will see in there are very recognizable items, potentially wasted gifts like toys, tech gear, tools, sports equipment and more. This display playfully touches on our habits of relentless consumerism...especially around the holidays.

So shop purposefully, or at least if your unused items can't be recycled then re-purpose them. Whether it be to donate or even turn them into art. Better yet don't buy it in the first place. Instead visit Lyndon Street Artworks and buy art, not trash.

FYI all the trash will be reused by a resident artist...no wasting here!

The display can be seen on Elm Street in the Kress Building storefront window.

Lyndon Street Artworks will be in the Kress building during Festival of Lights, December 4th. Come see local artwork and enjoy live music and more! 4-9pm on the First Friday in December!

Fun with Grosgrain Ribbon

Some new designs. I love the grosgrain ribbon...so dramatic and feminine. The choice of color helps to make the hearts not so fru fru. The ribbon is crisp and resilient, also easily ironed, after lots of wear it may get a little crinkly, but will not break or run.

Currently only available as custom order. Email me at brittanysondberg@copperchameleon.com for more information.
