Todays outside influence comes from metalsmithing: Two Element Pod Pendant<\/em> by Barbara Bayne<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Barbara explored a number of mediums before finding metalsmithing, and jewelry in particular, was the area that she felt allowed her to create the work she envisioned. I like her description of what she does. It reminds me of the approach of a lot of polymer artists and her forms are definitely within reach of polymer as a medium that can reproduce such quiet and stunning work:<\/p>\n

“The jewelry designs stem from interests in natural organic forms and geometric shapes that are combined to create unique outlines that I than use as a basis for my work.\u00a0 Surface texture is also of great interest to me when I am designing.\u00a0 I attempt to develop new and intriguing patterns and textures to enhance and embellish the basic forms of the jewelry.\u00a0 It is my hope that by combining different shapes and outlines with various textures and patterns I can create jewelry that is interesting as well as innovative.”<\/p>\n

I have quite a number of metalsmithing books on my shelves. I don’t do much metal work but between the construction, colors and forms, there is a tremendous amount of inspiration. Check out my two favorites:<\/p>\n
