Being grounded

What a lovely conversation and truth to our world and connection to the earth.



Ruudt Peters is fun and so observant, and of course his work is amazing.

Asteria Exhibition closing reception at Art Avenue

Though the Asteria exhibition was not officially on exhibit at Starlight for the past month, Amber and I decided to keep the presence of the jewelry and images with a 'closing' exhibition at Art Avenue for October's First Friday Art walk in Uptown Greenville.

The monthly First Friday Art Walk has been so great for promoting independent artists, as well as established artists in addition to nurturing the emerging artists from ECU.  When I was in DC last week, I realized how much Greenville has to offer in terms of new talent.  We're brimming wit it!

Here is one of the designs Tara Locklear did for our postcards.  I love how she used an old style font for the title.  And of course the lovely Jena as our model.  

Comet earrings; lapis lazuli studs with 'earring jackets' - business in the front,
party in the back!

Now International

So much has been happening these past few months, it's been hard to keep up with posting all the news!

It's official now though that Eilisain Jewelry is international! We've been picked up by Peculiar Vintage, a jewelry company and now a brick and mortar shop that carries the guest designers below.

We'd been working towards getting international representation for awhile and I'm very pleased that it is through a fellow jeweller.  

If you live in Brighton, or London go to their opening, it's on Saturday, September 27th from 12pm-6pm.

A couple of exciting events happened these past two weeks.   I received the UK Glamour May issue featuring The Hunted bronze owl talon ring in their shop section; which was really exciting, I've loved Glamour magazine since I was in my early teens. 

The Hunted owl talon ring! So exciting to see it in Glamour

And the silver owl talon ring featured in the NJAL Origin FB promo page.

Moving On collective

Being in a class with people from all over the world and of different experiences really introduces you to ideas and concepts that may not come to you otherwise.

Sophie Main is one of the students in our class that is at Penland on a scholarship from London.  Sophie's work at RCA (Royal College of Art) deals with the history of objects, collecting and cataloguing  historical works and objects.  I've really enjoyed watching her thinking process in the objects and sketches she's done in class.

Sophie is also part of the Moving On collective, a group of artists from RCA that created a wonderful interactive exhibition.  The artists carried/wore their jewelry on ribbons and the piece was placed in a jar to protect the object but then could be taken out to show the viewer.

Once again, I just really enjoy these kinds of projects, creating an event and/or method to introduce art jewelry to the public, making art accessible and less confined.  I hope you enjoy the video!
