How I store a large jewelry collection so I can see everything

Some people asked on my TikTok & Instagram how I store my jewelry because I have quite a lot I’ve managed to collect. I’m also someone who needs to keep things where I can see them or else I forget I have them. I posted this on my TikTok but this is the answer:

1. Old air plant frame for clip on earrings

2. Multiple of these 80s “earring books” for regular earrings (and rings)

3. A display I made by nailing fabric to a picture frame for larger brooches (you could also do this with chicken wire instead of fabric)

4. A hair clip organizer I’ve had since I was a little girl for smaller, lighter pins and brooches

5. Thrifted tie organizer for necklaces (tie organizers are very easy to thrift). You can also see that I keep most of my hats and gloves on my wall in this photo

6. Large statement necklaces that take up a lot of space get hung directly on the wall

7. A thimble display shelf for cufflinks, collar tips, and oddly shaped earrings & rings that would be difficult to store otherwise. Someday I’ll hang this on the wall but for now it’s just sitting on a shelf

8. An old purse strap for bangles

Gender play, kink, and futures that touch traditional lifeways are enduring features of Virgil Ortiz’s work.

[cctinsleybaxter]

“Master and Tics” (2020) includes Monos figures, reminiscent of those created by Cochiti potters from about 1880–1920 to represent and comment on an influx of outsiders to the pueblo, brought by train. The Monos, which means “to mimic,” staged parodic figures in motion, performing, commanding attention — Spanish, New Mexican, or Euro-American circus performers, land thieves, and priests. Potters sold their Monos figures to the very outsiders they mocked, and once the audience realized they were both the target of parody and the market to consume it, Monos disappeared from circulation.

With “Blind Archers” (2019) and “Venutian Soldier Quest” (2020), the final two ceramic pieces in the show, Ortiz grafts figures to vessels, a technique that demonstrates his remarkable co-innovations with clay. They also comprise stories from Ortiz’s elaborate worlding that enfolds the 1680 Pueblo Revolt with an imagined 2180 into a chiasmus of resistance, resilience, shifting and innovating forms — all eternal characteristics of Pueblo people and lands. The Blind Archers figured in the pot along with Tahu ... orient the viewer to some of Ortiz’s main characters. Tahu, a Keres term of respect for elder Pueblo women, was blinded by a conquistador during an archery contest. She becomes the leader of the Blind Archers in Ortiz’s enduring Pueblo Revolt.

if you think about it this buck/theo storyline in a meta contextual sense is behaving similarly to comedian by maurizio cattelan (2019)
