Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Each piece of jewelry begins with a unique collage design made of paper, cloth, and more. I spend 2-5 hours designing the collage for each side of a pair of earrings. After completing the collage design, I coat it with glue for a protective seal and add sterling silver bails. Once that has been set, I have 4-5 layers of epoxy. I monitor the resin during drying to ensure it is set properly. Once the jewelry is completely dry, I add jump rings, chains, fishhooks, and other components. |
