Hammered Leaf Necklace from the workshop of Salley Prangley!

About the Artist:

Working with wire is like drawing three-dimensional pictures in air.  It’s much more than reshaping tightly wound wire from a spool. It’s about making real things– baskets, sculpture, and jewelry– that visualize ideas, that reflect emotions, and that show a sense of humor and wit.  Because to me, art in our lives should be about provoking reactions, stimulating memories, creating smiles, and making connections.

We all have connections with objects, colors, and shapes. When these associations are presented in the different context of a wire basket, sculpture, or piece of jewelry, a new dialogue has begun.
