Title: Well, here is an "old" "new" idea........
Post by: CarefreeSadie on August 30, 2016, 02:48:03 PM
I receive a newsletter from Fire Mountain Gems because I order jewels there and in this weeks newsletter there was an artist highlight that is totally not my cup of tea but I just had to share it here.  Link to article here. (http://www.firemountaingems.com/resources/jewelry-artists/cadwalladerl?cid=1328954279279677053&_rid=343619.28000.773523&WT.mc_id=NL160830)

I might mention that the part of the article that I find interesting is the materials she uses to make jewelry......Look under the question; What medium do you work with mostly?  I remember my grandmother had pictures using real human hair behind glass in frames on her wall that came from some relative in Norway, and I kind of found that creepy.  I do not think that I could wear jewelry that someone made from human hair.  I most certainly wouldn't make jewelry out of my own hair even though I could probably clean enough out of my brush after I wash my hair and brush it out for a necklace.  The picture that she submitted is made from her own hair and she says most of her inventory is made from hair extensions.  Now this is what I call mixed media jewelry.........

Oh my! I am not sure I have much to comment on that (but it isn't going to stop me  #> ). Is the rosary pictured made with hair?  If it is, I wouldn't know it.
