Featured Work: Whitefly Jewelry

 Beautiful handmade jewelry by Amanda's Whitefly.
Here's how she does it. Really unique.

"I cast all my items directly from real vintage lace, ribbon, satin or string into solid sterling silver and gold. Each item is made by hand from scratch. There is no mold. One of the things that's really great about handmade work is the character that each piece has. I tie each bow, from ribbon and string...Each lace item is made from an actual piece of lace, and I use only the highest quality vintage lace."

Decorative Wire Fencing

Dutch designers of Demakersvan started this idea as a design thesis project but it has since started to go into mass-production for commercial and home use due to popular appeal.

Combining the delicate decorative appeal of lace and the polar-opposite aesthetic of rugged wire fencing, these works of bent steel are like functional and appealing versions of boring large-scale metal artwork you see at office buildings.
