Artist Statement: Do you have big feelings? Do you have trouble putting words to those feelings? Identifying your emotions and mood can be tricky in this digital age.
Hi, Baleigh Acebo here for the world’s greatest emotion identifier, Mood Ring™.
If you're like me and the majority of congressmen, you need assistance identifying your emotions that get you into tight situations at home or the office.
Simply place Mood Ring™ on your finger, say Beetlejuice three times, burn some sage and give it a spin. Your current mood will be indicated by the arrow in seconds! Talk about emotional intelligence! The science is built in cosmic rays from your 19th chakra interact with gravitational forces, spinning the Mood Ring to interface with your exact mood in that moment!

Artist Bio: Baleigh has tinkered with craft and jewelry since she was a wee adolescent growing up in the lush, green mountains of Vermont. After pursuing a BFA in Creative Writing she realized she had made a terrible mistake on a very expensive education because what she wanted to do was work with her hands and build shit. She then enrolled in the North Bennet Street School’s Jewelry Making & Repair program in Bahston, MA and everything was good again. Baleigh was technically trained to craft her own tools, fabricate intricate pieces from scratch, handset diamonds & precious gems and repair fine jewelry.
Her work employs clean lines, bold colors & graceful geometry that she finds inspiring from everyday design. Baleigh works out of her home studio that she shares with her hubs Alex, along with their 3 adorable floofs.
