Muddy Monday - Jim Bridgeman

Jim Bridgeman of Bridgeman Studios is one of those all around good guys. He is happily married with two beautiful kids. (I've seen pics - gorgeous family!) In his spare time he enjoys golfing, sudoku, working out, spending time with that wonderful family.

Although Jim started getting dirty just two years ago, he is quite accomplished. Right now he is building a studio that he designed - can we say multi-talented?!

The pieces that first caught my eye of Jim's were his balloon hearts. They are wheel thrown and then altered. Beautiful work and on my list of things I need to acquire!

Jim also just introduced a great line of pendants. You can see them - and all of Jim's work in his Etsy shop.

Jim has great pieces in his shop.

I recently purchased one of his new pendants for myself, and I love it!
