sara fell’s metal inclusions in glass

I’m always on the lookout for glass jewelry that WOWs me – it doesn’t happen often enough, but Sara Fell’s metal inclusions in cast and fused glass did the trick for me today. She loves the unpredictable nature of the process. I love the results.

Some of the pieces do double duty – another WOW factor. The ring below is actually the stopper for the bottle pictured beneath it. The stopper unscrews from the bottle and screws into the silver ring. You can read more about it here.

“I work with both Cast and Fused Glass, with the use of metal inclusions, Pewter, Bronze, Silver and Brass. Combining these materials has been intrinsic in my work, pushing the boundaries of both materials.

The excitement of breaking open a mould and revealing the unpredictable.”

carly wright’s painterly enamel

It’s been a long day. One of those days when I need to look at something softly colored and easy on the eyes. New York’s Carly Wright hit the sweet spot tonight with her enameled jewelry collection. Inspired by layers of sedimentary rocks, windows and doors, the work has a painterly feel to it.

Each piece is hand fabricated from sterling silver. Wright then applies the champleve enamel technique and the pieces are fired several times, polished and oxidized. A time consuming series of steps. A labor of love. Ultimately the colors are what drew me in. Soft and lovely.

“I am fascinated by cliffs revealing layers of sedimentary rock. I believe that the images that I see on my daily walks, give me a vocabulary. I often stop to sketch, or pick up a stone or a piece of bark. These small objects sit on my drawing table for weeks, sometimes years. When I sit down to design new pieces I look to them for inspiration, and try to convey something of what I see in them to others.”
