Mastering Contemporary Jewelry Design
So thrilled Loretta Lam chose to include my work in her exquisite book, Mastering Contemporary Jewelry Design. About peeled, Lam writes, "The organic pattern, soft color, and undulating shapes combine to set a mood that is calm and dreamy. Although the piece is evocative of a natural scene, it is ambiguous enough that we can infer different things."
If you are looking for beautiful, inspiring images of contemporary jewelry as well as clear, practical design guidance for makers, this book is a must for your collection!
