Rickie Leiter and Ryan Delaneuville will be filling the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery will a roomful of wonderful jewelry creations and meticulously crafted chain mail works of art.  Works shown, are as diverse as those worn by those of the manor, to those of the jousting knights of old.  Surprisingly, they share an elegance of design and a sensuality of form.  The exhibit will take place at the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, 15 South J Street in downtown Lake Worth on Friday evening, March 14 from 6-9 PM.

Rickie Leiter has fast become the champion of artists and the arts throughout Palm Beach County. The RickieReport.com heralds the shows, the installations, the meetings, the artists and their works. On Friday evening, March 14th, Rickie stands as an artist in her own right, exhibiting many dozens of works of jewelry that she has herself created.  Look for ancient shards from archeological sites that she has woven into her pieces.  Come and meet Rickie in person, and thank her for all of the work she had done on behalf of artists throughout the region.

Ryan Delaneuville is a chain mail artist who meticulously creates every ring in his works.  Rather than working on a chain gang, he gangs chain into clothing, jewelry and armor.  Where other chain mail artists buy sheets of chain mail and cut them to their product, Ryan makes every ring himself.  Some of his pieces have 70-100,000 rings in them.  He uses surgical stainless steel and sterling silver, and upon request, he will craft an item out of gold.  Special orders are welcome.  Ryan can custom fit all pieces to the patron.  Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, purses, watch bands, vests, and shirts are available.  Ryan will demonstrate his craft during the evening of the opening.
