FOXY Fusions
Kerri Lawnsby is a designer of fused glass dichroic jewelry and personal accessories from Austin Texas. She creates a line called FOXY Fusions that includes both wearables and non-wearables. For personal adornment, Kerri makes pendants, earrings, adjustable rings, bracelets, cufflinks, and belt buckles. She also creates business card cases, money clips, pill boxes, and wine charms called FOXY Charms.
Kerri writes about her wearable line:
As a designer, what appeals to me and has driven the look of FOXY Fusions is clean-line contemporary design with bold contrasting colors, striking patterns, and interesting textures. The rectangular line integrates linear layers of glass with a tack-fuse to form a built-in channel for the cord, while the circular design leverages longer fusing times to create the initial glass block that is then cored, cold-worked, and fire-polished.
About her non-wearables, she writes:
As a fused glass designer, I am always looking for innovative ways to incorporate glass into gift items or personal accessories. A popular choice by men and women is the card case which can be used for business cards or as a pocket-purse/wallet. Wine-lovers also enjoythe FOXY Charms as artistic stemware markers that compliment the fine wine they’re serving for home parties.
