When printmaker and sculptor Jed Green saw scaled down images of her commercial art she felt the stirrings of a change in direction. Green went back to school, learning how to translate her designs to jewelry, and she now offers collectors an opportunity to wear the diminutive glass and silver structures as personal adornments.

Wow– this really got my head going! We have an upholstery business restoring antiques and with the economy the way it is, not much in the way of work. So this got me thinking– what techniques do we use with the furniture could be translated to jewelry? Lots! My husband’s been learning repousse and it’s always looked like rumpled fabric to me. I now have a whole bunch of new ideas for directions to go with this. Thanks, Susan– as usual, this blog is a font of inspiration.
