Outside Inspiration: Varied Embedding

Here is an example of a piece found on Pinterest, pinned through Tumblr and without attribution. But luckily, it is also an image taken from the artist’s website so looking up the image on Google images brought up the page of Laurie MacAdam and her mixed stone and metal jewelry, which was quite a find! Although this is mostly metal work, she creates with a wide range of lovely colors both through heat and patina and carefully chosen semi-precious stones bezeled and flat soldered and/or embedded into textured and forged metal.

Most of Laurie’s work could be emulated in polymer and certainly has a lot of elements that could be jumping off points for various elements in your own work. Enjoy a little time on her website looking over her lovely pieces.
