You See your Gypsy
There's really nothing better than making something pretty from something that would normally just be discarded in the trash and never seen again. Giving new life to old things is so rewarding - and fun! And it's the best way I know of being green!

Let it Flow
Dev enjoys pieces that capture movement, either literally or as an image of flow. The transformation of a heavy, dense thing - metal - into one that moves with the body or molds to its curves, is a challenging project. The surprise of wearing a large, extravagant earring that moves so lightly is part of her attraction to this type of jewelry.
Dig It
The objects that I incorporate in my jewelry are century-old ceramic pieces that were thrown away, left to earth, and slowly altered by natural processes. Every shard that had been dug from the ground is excitingly different. Many steps occur from the time of the initial discovery of a shard to the finished product. through this process, I am representing the transformation of trash into treasure. By presenting these discarded ceramic shards as an art form, I am revealing the beauty that the pieces once had and giving them a new purpose- to be worn.
