\"RThickbroom\"<\/a>Here is the lovely Rebecca Thickbroom<\/a> showing off her tribal-esque jewelry at the Eurosynergy gala event last week. She was sitting there signing copies of the Polymer Journeys<\/em> book<\/a> when I snapped this photo of her and this bold\u00a0neck piece. Rebecca’s work, although it has a tribal look, is never quite as one would expect that look to be. She is not afraid to go big\u00a0with her pieces and arranges elements in uncommonly complex compositions for ethnic influenced jewelry. She also uses bright saturated colors alongside muted and\u00a0natural tones for interesting and eye-catching color contrast. The results are big and bold and quite enticing.<\/p>\n

Rebecca\u00a0was not the only one signing copies of Polymer Journeys<\/em> last week. A number of attendees went about with their copies collecting\u00a0signatures from the 25 artists that were at the event that are also in the book. I got two copies signed by all 25 artists which included the likes of Kathleen Dustin, Jeff Dever, Georg Dinkle, Maggie Maggio, Melanie Muir, Christi Friesen and more. One of those copies I donated to be auctioned off online by the IPCA.\u00a0The auction is not yet up but I will share the link here when it’s announced so if you want to get your copy of this signed edition of Polymer Journeys<\/em>, stay tuned!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, getting a closer look at the variety of color and texture on this piece you see here along with other work by Rebecca on her website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
