Woodland Jewelry...

I usually don't care for contemporary jewelry, but these pieces by Terhi Tolvanen are quite compelling... I love the use of textiles, and other media to represent natural elements in nature!

Mundane To Profane!

These jeweled treasures are by Kristin Beeler. I love how she has made the commonplace (a bit of thread, a fly, scraps of paper and twisted wire) into the profane! Truly lovely!!!

Jewelry Fit For A Queen

01show_wig

My dear friend Judy introduced me to Bay-area Jewelry designer Carla Labat, and I am hooked! Carla's inspiring 'Large-Scale' jewelry would surely appeal to Marie Antoinettes sensibilities! Made from vintage fabrics, trims, buckles, and appliqués found in Paris Flea Markets, her jewelry is reminiscent of 18th century theatre costuming with a modern twist. Surely one doesn't have to be a 'Queen' to wear such treasures... Time to raid my trim drawers!!!

Lydia's Wearable Gardens

Mtsp182

The jewelry of Lydia Gerbig-Fast is sensual, vibrant and beautiful. I can imagine walking in a magical meadow wearing one of her 'Tiaras' and feeling like a fairy princess... Breathtaking!!!

Wearable Still Lifes - Eighteenth Century Style!

Dearest Cally found these, and just knew I'd love them! Not only are these brooches 'Miniature', but they are wearable, and in a 'Marie Antoinette' style!!! Wow, can it get any better??? Iris Nieuwenburg means to evoke moments in time, suggest movement and a presence in a room with her lovely work. Inspiring! Thank you Cally!!!

Thoughts Contained...

These reliquary like pieces are by Canadian Jeweler Erin Dolman. I really like her combination of 'contained elements' with etched and worked metals. LOVELY!
