\"Cobble+Stone+NECKLACE\"<\/a>This is not going to be as much of a jaw-dropping post as the last, but rather this will be an ‘ah1’, especially for those of us who have followed this artist for the many years she has been wowing us.<\/p>\n

Whenever these newer pieces pop up, I think they are fiberarts. I think these are fabric-wrapped or\u00a0those\u00a0thread-wrapped weavings created over metal forms. They have that sense of texture and refinement. But no, this is polymer, as are all the wonderful new pieces coming out of Bonnie Bishoff and\u00a0J.M Syron’s<\/a> studios. Even their wall art reminds one of quilts and hand-dyed fabrics. The big surprise is just how far some of these pieces are from the inlaid furniture they were so well-known for. I am not objecting. The style of the newest pieces are so fresh looking, in both color and form, but it does feel like a pendulum swing especially comparing the airiness of the wire and polymer pieces with their cabinets and credenzas.<\/p>\n

If you are familiar with the couple’s furniture but haven’t seen their jewelry, pop over to their website<\/a> for a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

Inspirational Challenge of the Day:\u00a0<\/strong>How do you usually design?\u00a0Heavy or light? Design or create a piece whose heaviness or delicate nature is to an extreme that makes you just a little uncomfortable. Do you find yourself more comfortable, or even excited by it, by the time you are done?<\/p>\n
