Once upon a time, Kristi found a Ziploc baggie of fabric remnants. Finding it prompted her to create an entire new body of work, in which she combined the fabric remnants with scrap sterling silver to arrange and fabricate decorative, functional, and completely contemporary jewelry. This most recent body of work is called "Intentions of an Anonymous Quilter."
On the side, Kristi works for Buffalo Exchange, a clothing store that sells new and used fashion, some of which was donated by the store to incorporate into the new jewelry pieces. Last Friday night, Buffalo Exchange hosted a show for Kristi which showcases the re-purposed remnants....which is where I come in....
Kristi asked if I would please serve drinks at the opening reception, which, of course, I was delighted to oblige. If any Houstonians are out and about in the Montrose area, and are interested in seeing the work up close and personal, stop by Buffalo Exchange and take a peek. The show will be up all week.

Such a small world! I just finished a jewelry class taught by Kristi Wilson. Tonight was my last class and I came home and googled her because I wanted to see her work. She had this link on her website. Now that the class is over I can't go back and say "I KNOW SARAH TOO!" She was fun.
Fun! Small world.
