Description

“I create jewelry that is fabricated entirely by hand. One of the techniques I employ is that of melting sterling silver and manipulating this material while it is hot to achieve the organic shapes often seen in my designs. I mainly work with sterling silver and occasionally add gold, semi-precious stones or found objects to my designs. I draw upon innumerable sources for my inspiration, including vintage textile patterns, the physical universe and commonplace objects from my daily life.” – Lisa Colby
