PENDANTS

Delays, delays....but these little prints you can wear are still forthcoming.

Only 4 commissioned pieces in silver, like the one pictured left, are available right away. Just contact and let's collaborate on a particular element!

An official collection, in lighter than silver setting, will be available sometime this year. Will come in a circular canister with velvet pouch and chain. The aim is to make these very giftable at under $50.

- Each piece will be approximately 1 1/8" in diameter.
 

ART YOU CAN EAT !

Arlington unveils a retail line of Artist-designed fine chocolates... now anyone can get a taste of the arts in Arlington, the latest project is art you can eat. Arlington Cultural Affairs has joined forces with Arlington-based luxury chocolatier Artisan Confections to create a line of hand-dipped chocolates that are screened with images created by six Arlington-based artists. 

The six artists selected for the debut "Artist Series" are David Amaroso, Richard Chartier, Laura Jane Hamilton, Justine Light, Monica Stroick and Joel E. Traylor, III. The distinctive "Artist Series" will showcase the work of a different set of Arlington-based artists each year, with a portion of the sale of each box going to benefit the arts in Arlington.

Chocolatier Jason Andelman,  an Arlington resident and native of northern Virginia, is the former pastry chef at Washington, DC's TenPenh Restaurant. Washington Magazine featured Artisan Confections in a 2002 article on the region's best chocolates.  The boxes are sold in both 12 and 24 piece boxes.
