Inspiration: Valerie Hammond

I saw these images a few weeks ago on one of my favorite spots to find art inspiration Art Hound.  I was drawn to them because for one they have flowers, and two I love the simple color palette of grey and bright coral.  There's something so transparent and ethereal about them, and all of Valerie Hammond's work.  Beautiful!

Maps You Can Wear, A Collaboration

It's been awhile since I've blogged, but for my return to Handmaker of Things, I'm happy to announce an awesome collaboration between myself and printmaker, and friend Sage Dawson.  It's a line of jewelry that features her lovely art work, embedded in resin and made into few of a kind pieces of jewelry.  Sage is headed to Vermont this summer for a fellowship, and I approached her about collaborating originally to raise some money for her trip.  Please visit Sage's blog, Map Mint, to learn more about her work:

Visit the Map Mint Etsy Shop to see the full line, and buy a piece of your own!  These aren't just pieces of jewelry, they're limited edition, mini works of art.  We've got pendants, rings, stud, and dangle earrings.
