New Work at Beloved Artisan Jewelry

Just left a whole batch of delicious jewelry at Beloved Artisan Jewelry in Trolley Square. If you haven't been in, you should go. Amy and Brian are both artists AND business people, which makes for a very nice experience. They also change things out nearly daily, it's never the same store twice!

Here are some preview photo's, stop in for the full range of goodies!

Wood and glass cuff bracelets ($42-$48) rescued maple veneer bent into cuffs and secured to recycled glass chunks. I get the maple from a cabinet shop in Lindon. These are all new scraps that were discarded and saved from the landfill. Woo! The glass chunks are made with recycled window and bottle glass.

More cuffs ($42-$48), these are much more supple in nature, reclaimed glazed leather fit with recycled glass pieces. The leather is a great caramel color and will darken as you wear it.

The leather is from discarded handbags, the glass recycled from window and bottle glass. The glass pieces are all cast, then tumbled for about a week. The brown glass cuff is polished and has plush dark velvet on the inside.



And then we have the candy link bracelets. ($35) These are made with recycled window glass cut into 3/4" circles and squares. The pieces are stacked with an after market color in between the layers, as well as tiny metal loops. After fusing, the links are joined with silver jump rings and a sterling clasp is added. These are the ultimate eye candy and feel great on!




Matching but not matchy earrings in the link style. There are a variety of colors and materials available, some with reclaimed leather, some with recycled metal.

These little darlings are made with recycled brass from vintage (1950-60) light fixtures. The fixtures came from a light shop that went out of business and was trashing all of their left overs. Luckily, I got to pick out what I wanted before it went in the dumpster, not that that would have stopped me!

Other pairs have aluminum parts from the same source. There is a great variety to choose from.

New Work at Evergreen Gallery

I've just delivered a whole batch of brand new pieces to Evergreen Gallery. These pieces feature the new block printing technique that I've been working on since before Christmas. The pieces are made from recycled window glass with original block printing on both sides, usually in two colors. Sometimes more, sometimes less (but not much less!)

Here are a few teaser photographs, please visit Evergreen (3295 S. 2000 E.) to have a look at all of the pieces.
