arielle de pinto

arielle de pinto's hand crocheted pieces are made from sterling silver and vermeil metal. colour variations are created by experimental oxidation techniques.

her designs are both fine and raw,

visually delicate but with strong physical presence. 

i first saw arielle de pinto's work at ra when i was in antwerp a few years ago, see previous post 

via stand up comedy

organic forms

the desire to create is the vehicle by which we, as humans, extend our minds and souls beyond the limits of our physical selves.

a declaration of love

 when i saw the declarations of love collection of necklaces my heart  fluttered. i secretly wish for one of these....

 len of a little hamster is  dutch + incredible talented-

everything she does, she does well. (she lives in rotterdam were i grew up).

we never met, but it seems like we have known each other for years.

 declaration of love: these pendants i found when i was traveling in asia and are purely a statement of love. the antique heart necklace is also a little box and was used to put tobacco in but you can put a sweet reminder in it. the other one I like to call ‘secret message necklace’, you can put just any note in it! something between you and your lover. and of course the ‘you are my number 1′ necklace is a simple exclamation of love.

valentines day is near so let your boyfriend, secret love, husband or fiance

 get inspired over here to surprise you!

make sure you check out her beautiful blog: a little hamster

for inspiration + loveliness and of course

her gorgeous shop: made by lennebelle 

 

  thank you len xxx

nature and time to influence her designs-

ambivalent perceptions of personal beauty

lyndie dourthe

gorgeous intricate floral pieces, made from paper

and fabric by french artist lyndie dourthe. she

draws her inspiration from nature, animals, and

botany. she also uses paper and a variety of materials

to create unique jewelry to be worn as objets d’art.

alidra alic

alidra alic dreamily surrealist 'alice's adventures in

wonderland' collection gives a stunning glimpse into

the jewelry designer's aesthetic. inspired by the

decorative floral motifs from the romantic period of the

1800s, the mostly resin and plastic-based (freshwater

pearls, precious stones, as well gold + silver) creations exude

a wondrous, logic-defying sensibility. alidra applied

self-invented techniques to create hundreds of plastic forms—

a rigorous process which can take as long

as 6 months to complete, every minute worth of it.
