Outside Inspiration: Jeweled Folds in Fabric
Eva Fulinova, a Czech designer living in the UK, calls her work Tinctory. They are brilliant jewelry designs using fabric folding and hand stitching. Her other jewelry pieces are created by folding vintage silks or new natural dyed fabrics into accordion centric shapes, something that can also be done with polymer although not quite with the delicate touch you see here.
Her designs are often inspired by natural geometric patterns in nature, historic textiles, and fairy tales.”Tinctory is a word that may not exist but if it did it would mean a place where things are dyed,” Eva explains. “Tinctor means ‘dyer’ in Latin.” To see more of her work, check out her Flickr site, Etsy shop, or blog.
