[private_archives]It takes moxie to wear Sea Plumes that glow in the dark or earrings named Polyps that look like growths growing out of your ear lobes. Think you’ve got what it takes? Really?!
Polyps can be worn as earrings or a pin
Sea Plume Necklace, silicone, light gathering acrylic, silver
Sea Plume glowing
Color Fade Brooch, silver, silicone, phosphorescent pigment
My designs take inspiration from the luminous colours, shapes and movement of creatures from the deep sea. I use these qualities to make playful pieces that move with the wearer and glow in the dark.

There is jewelry. Then there is art. Then there is art jewelry, on a spectrum between them. I’d put these too far to the “art” end for me to wear or, frankly, appreciate. (I find them fascinating but ugly.) To each his own, though.
Jenny is definitely a jewelry artist. The forms are intriguing and mystical. In my youth, when I was out dancing every night, I would have worn the Sea Plum necklace. The colors are wonderful.
