My jewelry picks for the Friday Highlights from the Subscriber Gallery this week are all...wait for it...thematically unrelated!! As an editor, I tend to look for ways to tie information together, make things cohesive. But there's a part of me — a part that rarely gets to come out at work — that absolutely delights in randomness. Here we go:
I'm interested in the tradition of snake jewelry, so I was drawn to metal clay artisan Lydia Lewis's snake bracelet. I love the spot of color that the blue eye provides.
The textures, shapes, and colors in Jan Geisen's (JanaG) polymer clay Chinese Script Circle Pendant Necklace balance one another well, I think.
I love how Erna played with shape in her Sterling Silver Flower ring — how some of the circles are uniform and others are a bit squished (but not quite ovals).
