Guest Star #103...Lydia Hirte

I mentioned today's Guest Star, Lydia Hirte, in my paper jewelry post last week and want to show you more of her portfolio now. Lydia's sculptural paper jewelry emphasises line and visual movement as well as tension and balance. She uses layering and accumulation, curves and angles to create volume and action that work together. I also really like her connections which add extra visual details.

Thanks for reading.

Paper Jewelry Love

Elsa Mora

I love paper and use it often as part of my artistic process, cutting and folding maquettes to help me visualize a piece before I begin fabricating it. My love of paper also keeps me looking for interesting paperwork in the form of jewelry. My friend Lisa who is really good at finding super-cool stuff on the internet sent me a link to the work of Elsa Mora and her incredible cut and folded paper ring (top image)...I've also added a few examples of more amazing jewelry made with paper:
