Hey! Theater lovers!

Recognize these faces? If you love theater you do. And besides, I wrote about them last week (scroll down).
Sure! You’re looking at none other than Comedy and Tragedy....those classic theater masks from way back.
Ancient times done up contemporary and almost abstract. There’s a reason for the modernization. Those original guys were so goofy-looking you wouldn’t want to wear them on your lapel no matter how much you loved theater. And I’m a jewelry-maker so I want you to look good!
HOWEVER!.....if you’d like the full and interesting story of ancient theater and its masks, etc., take just a moment to check out this great site:

and, at this site you can see more versions of the shapes: http://www.shakespearesden.com/cotrma.html


Now here’s the story about those guys up above in the photo!

The top two...pendant on the left and pin on the right...are sterling silver pins made for me by my talented husband, following drawings I had made on paper.
We both loved theater dearly, seeing many Broadway shows on the real Broadway as well as all the shows presented by the inimitable Surflight summer theater in Beach Haven, NJ. and I thought it would be cool to show that love by wearing a better-looking, contemporary version of those time honored symbols of theater.

Well....I'm a designer...so I designed.

Now, working in polymer clay, a great medium for jewelry, I've made the stylized masks again in several different versions. They're available as a pin or as a pendant from my Website: artonanisland.com.

Also on that site, check out the info about live theater here, on this island, a place you may be tempted to vacation!
