New Jewelry by Mary A. McCunn
Twigs, pods, insects, webs and things caught in webs, trees, and eddies in the rivers are explored. Some recycled products were used to gain texture, as well as to literally be included in the sculptural jewelry pieces. My work will have an antiqued appearance. The work will be primarily wearable jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, rings and more made of silver, brass & copper, yet with a more primitive appearance as opposed to polished. The work is abstract in nature and my take on what you would find weathered or textured by our environment.
Photography by Murray Schrotenboer
Aside from his interests and talents in stained glass, Murray has been a semi professional photographer since college in the early 70's. His specialty has been nature, but he is open to anything that looks interesting. To combine his interests, Murray will feature photography and will combine a number of pieces, housing them in a frame of stained glass.
