Paper Jewelry Artist - Sabrina Meyns
Thanks to an intriguing Twitter link from artist, Kirsty Hall ( @kirstymhall ), I was led to the website of jewelry designer and paper maker, Sabrina Meyns . Large Untitled Brooch Handmade paper, dandelion seeds, silver, and steel 2009 Based in Waterford, Ireland, Sabrina makes brooches and rings that can best be described as ethereal. She combines handmade paper with precious metals, inspired by the seeds and pods so prevalent in summer and autumn gardens. Untitled Brooch (Disintegration series) Handmade paper, seeds, silver, and steel 2009 Sabrina utilizes translucent paper to convey the delicate nature of seed pods as they age, becoming sheer and fragile. Silver and gold represent the pricelessness of seeds. Turquoise Ring Handmade paper and silver 2009 Each miniature sculpture captures the fleeting moment that exists in the life cycle of a plant, just before seeds are released to become next year's plants.
