Photo of the Day, February 21, 2013: Anne Arden McDonald’s Paper Wasp Nest

Anne Arden McDonald was the very first member of the New York Etsy Street Team when I started researching for my guidebook, Markets of New York City. She made silver castings of beautiful and unusual items, such as apple seeds and lace, and created memorable keepsake quality jewelry designs.

Anne is also a fine photographer, and she has published a book of self portraits. She currently has a photography and mixed media exhibit, Reflections on Time, at the Piermont Straus Gallery in Piermont, NY, called Reflections in Time, through April 4, 2013.
