abigail connell mixes it up

Although Abigail Connell uses a variety of disparate materials, her winning collection of pendants, bracelets and earrings is well executed and quite lovely.  Her website boasts nine different collections – each one a cohesive body of work that stands out on its own.  Connell seems to have an innate ability to strike just the right combination of materials from a growing list that includes sterling silver, 23 karat gold leaf, freshwater pearls, polymer clay, resin, dirt, flower petals and stamens, grass, rubber, bronze, steel, copper, plastic and rubies.

From the Megan Collection – sterling silver, 23K gold leaf, freshwater pearls, dirt, grass, flower stamens, resin

From the Molly Collection – sterling silver, polymer clay

I couldn’t find much about the artist online – many thanks to Tali Salvador for the link to Connell’s work.
