 | Artist Statement Working with an artist to create custom jewelry and art can be a fun and satisfying experience. The best part is you can be the mind and tell the story behind the piece, and in this case, even contribute to the creation using objects that hold a special meaning. Art is an innately personal pleasure and when taking part in the creation of the work, it becomes a much more rewarding experience. Naming each piece can also add representation, reflecting time gone by or stories left untold. Thomine uses vintage and antique watches and watch parts, family heirlooms, costume jewelry, discarded board game pieces, buttons, feathers, fur, fabric, and most any fun found or recycled object to design the most exquisitely crafted wearable art and alternative whimsical pieces imaginable. She can create custom jewelry and art to portray someone’s occupation, hobby, family tree, family eccentricity, or simply provide a functional conversation piece for years to come. |
