Falcher Fusager’s jewelry is meant to focus the wearer on their inner strengths and the harmony within. “Being an artist is a tremendous privilege, one that I treasure every day. Art, to me, embodies life’s magnificence and offers ways to communicate a dimension of emotion and experiences that can not else be seen or touched. Each of my designs embody distinctive senses of emotion and experiences..Harmony, Serenity, Creations, Abundance, Exploration & Revelations.

Brooke Battles started her career as a college professor and corporate marketer. “In 1994, the corporate world became too much – too driven, too male, too impersonal, too competitive. Once I quit and sat still for a while, there it was. Beautiful jewelry. One-of-a-kind pieces. Art in wearable form. I wanted it, and I wanted to make it.”
Early Inspiration

Michele Grady started making jewelry at a very early age. “When I was 10 years old, I made my very first ring from a piece of copper wire I found in my father’s desk drawer of his basement workshop. I twisted and bent it until my little heart was content. Then with a second piece I made a “matching” one for my little sister. I was very proud of these rings and I wore mine everyday no matter how green the copper turned my finger. Looking back, I know it was then that I fell in love with making jewelry. Little did I know that years later I would still be just as excited to shape wire and metal into beautiful works of wearable art. Those rings were the very first pieces of metal jewelry I ever made and I still have my little copper wire ring to this day. It hangs on the wall on a pushpin next to my workbench in my studio.”

The wish book of summer classes for the Penland School of Crafts arrived yesterday…it is kid in a candy store time. Charity Hall is teaching a class entitled Enamel it, Set it! “I am a metalsmith and enamelist with a background in biology. My artwork is based on the tiny intricate details and fascinating biological stories that first captivated me when I studied botany as an undergraduate.”

As you may have surmised, I am ‘wild’ about Frey Wille enameled jewelry…love the simplicity and combination of pattern. “The new Spirit of Africa range features designs and motifs reminiscent of tribal prints and ancient art. The 18-piece collection, plated in 24-carat gold, is inspired by Mount Kilimanjaro and the vibrant natural patterns found on leopards, cheetahs, zebras and other wildlife in the region.”
Stiched and Set

The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is always a great resource for post material. Lisa Crowder’s enamel pieces are “kiln-fired vitreous enamel on copper stitched with thread — set in oxidized sterling silver. Pieces are completely hand fabricated — hand stitched. The copper is drilled prior to enameling. Multiple layers of enamel are then fired on both sides — then etched to create a matte finish. Once this is completed the piece is stitched — set in sterling.”

If a tree falls in the forest…can it end up in your wardrobe? That question was asked by Elle magazine and the answer is YES!!! Ten Thousand Things collaborated with designer Marcia Patmos to create a line of sustainable jewelry for her fall 2012 collection using branches, knobs and rings from a tree stored in their Brooklyn warehouse. “Our big motivation has always been to create jewelry that could be considered an heirloom piece, like something valued by your mother or grandmother and passed down through generations. Substantial and classic but original.”
Unfortunately, I could not find a photo of ‘said’ tree, but I did find this FABULOUS necklace of enameled copper charms on a leather cord necklace…A DEFINITE…WE CAN DO THIS PIECE.
