  Rebecca D Enamel is an artist I came across on instagram. While I follow many jewelers work not many work with enamel, so I went looking for some and was amazed by her work. Her work also gave me a lot of ideas of how to design our first sample and how to think about filling spaces with enamel. Rebecca works with hot enamel and has been doing so since she was sixteen. She was taught various techniques and her miniature work is insane. Her pieces are amazingly detailed considering their size and the process she is working with. She aims for her work to be unique and for them to be considered wearable works of art. Like the artist I looked at for color, I love how she creates art that can be shown in the house, or worn. Each one looks like a mini stained glass window, or painting, and every one blows my mind.

  Danielle Embry is a jewelry artist from Arizona, who uses metal, enamel, beads, and other materials such as wood to create these sort of ethereal pieces, which often remind me of natural objects or occurrences. One of her recent collections “making place” consists of pieces titled “desert bloom”, “shifting sands, empty promise”, and “bramble”. On her website, these pieces are displayed hung on photographs of landscapes they look natural in.In some cases, it looks like one was made for the other, for example, the work with the red stripe against the photo with the matching stripe.  I haven’t seen jewelry displayed in this way by any other jeweler, and I think it adds a lot for the buyer, when it’s not being worn it can be kept against this photo on the wall or anywhere else. I really enjoy the forms she creates in her works, and the way she combines these forms and contrasts one with another. She then adds to the form she has made with beads and drapes them in different ways ...
