\"\"<\/a>Here’s another image dug up from my Pinterest board, a piece done by a jewelry artist who was a real game changer.<\/p>\n

What you see here is not polymer, although it so easily could be. This is a piece by Marjorie Schick<\/a>, who passed away in late 2017.\u00a0This bit of unique sculpture, titled Henri’s Garden,<\/em> is painted paper, wood, canvas, plastic laminate, and bronze. Quite a mix of materials. Its wide-ranging pallet of saturated color and busy repetition is anchored by the symmetry of a common radiating form. Classic and yet, with the range of materials to use, quite unique.<\/p>\n

Emerging during the time when many jewelers are rejecting traditional materials and techniques, Schick really formed a unique and, as she put it, “quietly rebellious” style.<\/p>\n

The article on the Craft Council\u2019s website<\/a> that was posted after her passing does a beautiful job of giving you a picture of this woman and the how and why of her creations. Take a moment to jump over there and read about this highly influential jeweler, or you might enjoy this enlightening interview<\/a> with her back in 2016. See if her work and words don\u2019t influence you.<\/p>\n
