My jewelry celebrates the movements and colors of the organic world. I like watching the way an octopus curls his tentacle, the way the sunlight passes through the thin veins of a leaf, the way seeds grow inside its pod… Working with a material such as glass, I can sculpt these tiny moments, yet still allow the glass to maintain its own natural tendency as a material. It has a beautiful way of balling up, dripping, swirling… I like to utilize these movements in my design.
It’s remarkable to have the experience of creating little glass “creatures” and be able to combine them together to adorn a human body.
Love the blue & green necklace! Those earrings are great too, very unique.
I know how they put ships inside glass bottles, but how does Kim do that with wires?
I have no idea! Gorgeous and intriguing, aren’t they?
I love the blue and green glass necklace. The colors are great together and those curly points are so fun!
