Imperfect Embedding

Okay … we are still looking for the identities of the first two artists of this week. While we continue that search, why don’t we look at a couple of people I have been able to identify.

This beautiful pendant is by France’s Amarena Bijoux. I don’t know that these jewel like metal foil spots are embedded so much as punched in. The imperfect edges around the metal leaf application goes well with the loose, brushy swath of copper and the overall dark look of industrial decay.

I found this approach a bit unusual for this commonly color enamored artists. Its nice to see the exploration into really different color palettes though. See more of her work on her Flickr pages, on her blog and in her online shop.
