This month we have a guest feature from Kat Alder, maker of the repurposed/redesigned vintage jewelry that we carry. Just got some awesome new rings in from her too!
“I created Katz's Designs as my way of feeding my interest in vintage jewelry. This has been an interest of mine since I was a young girl. I remember receiving a mother of pearl necklace when I was 10 years old, and can still recall just gazing at the necklace, marveling at its design. From there, I started working with vintage earrings and broaches. I enjoy taking something old and making it new again. Vintage items carry such a history with them, it's exciting to think about where the jewelry has been as I work with it. It feels like I am taking history and making it new again. I hope you enjoy wearing my designs as much as I enjoy creating them!”
We’ve been using fanfold paper medallions a lot lately, they can be used in so many ways and are so simple to make! So we thought we would share a quick video tutorial with you on a simple way to make them: http://lemmertorium.blogspot.com/2012/06/paper-medallions.html
As ever, thank you so much for being the wonderful, encouraging, and creative people that you all are. We are so inspired!
