What Are You Working on Now? Show Us Your Stuff AND Enter Our April Contest!
Well folks, it's that time again! Each month we ask the question, "What Are You Working on Now?" and we eagerly await a peek at your jewelry bench! We love to see inside your studios and hear about how your work is evolving. Each month we also feature the work of a random winner—who, in addition to getting a moment in The Studio spotlight, wins a $20 Rio credit!
This month’s winner is Felicia Cinquegrana of Felicia Grace Designs in Block Island, Rhode Island. According to her website, Felicia Grace Designs, Felicia began her artistic path as a sculptor working on large-scale cast metal sculptures. “Somewhere along the line my love for large-scale metal work took a very ‘small’ turn and my love for jewelry was born." she writes, "Each piece is a tiny, unique sculpture, allowing me to be constantly creating something completely new.”
Here’s what Felicia has on her bench right now:
I am currently finishing this Raw Montana Sapphire Sterling Silver Multi-Chain Bracelet. Uncut multi-colored sapphires bezel set and soldered onto sterling rolo chain. The chain almost flows like a river around the natural gemstones. Feels amazing on, with just a bit of weight and a lot of flow!
You can see more of Felicia's "tiny sculptures" at her website, Felicia Grace Designs, and her Etsy shop of the same name. Here are a few of my favorites:
