Marvin and Michelle Shafer usually had the booth at Buyer's Market of American Craft shows next to Maxine Cohen. Max had a line of jewelry that she made in Silver Spring, Maryland, called Jing-Jing, with stones imported from Thailand and her arts and crafts inspired designs. When I acquired the business in 1992, Max's jewelry line came with it. So, Max encouraged me to try some of their colorful jewelry, clocks and mobiles that the Shafers designed and made in their studio in Chicago, Illinois. The rest is history and, as with many of my artists, we have shared many years of life on the craft show circuit. I remember their newborn son at American Craft Council (ACC) shows. He's grown now, of course. Marvin continues to get commissions for his large mobiles. Michelle has her music, too, and I play the CDs she has given me at the shop. The brand continues to be seen in museum shops and at Imagine Artwear as "Q3 Art."
