\"klew<\/a>We might spend a day or two more on disks since it’s garnered such interest but also because I’ve been sent such beautiful pieces as this necklace by Karen Lewis (aka Klew). Ronna’s piece on the cover of the Fall 2015 issue of The Polymer Arts<\/em> pushed Klew to reach out to share this. She has such beautiful work, and I just don’t think we see enough of it! So lucky us!<\/p>\n

Klew said this about her work as well: “I am inspired by ancient jewelry, specifically semi- precious stone and shell. I love designing with heishi beads, and thought I’d make my own! I pinched them slightly so that they would have a ripple texture rather than simply flat and uninteresting. They are opened up with tiny copper heishi as well to provide movement. It feels wonderful around my neck. I just love it!”<\/p>\n

Klew brings up a little pondered point … how jewelry feels when you wear it. A wearer’s experience and connection with your piece also has to do with how it physically feels. I’ve had some stunning pieces that were too uncomfortable to wear for long and other unassuming pieces that I never wanted to take off because they had such a comforting or even massaging texture. What characteristics make adornment\u00a0feel fabulous on, as well as looked fabulous? It is something that I think bears more study!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you can jump over to Klew’s website and galler<\/a>y for more gorgeous bits and bobs.<\/p>\n
