Emily Sullivan - Probably the most creative and talented metal smith ever discovered. She has her own line of super fabulous and creative jewelry, mostly revolving around the theme of 'victorian gothic'. I love the uniqueness of each and every piece of hers, youll never find anything close to the raw beauty of her designs. You can find (and order) many of her works at Raveneve.com.


Norihiro Yagi - the creator of the anime/manga series Claymore. One of my favorite things in his work is the monsters (yoma). There so unique and original. There are no words to describe them. I also love the way he proportions his faces and bodies, and the realisticness of it. His manga and anime are impressive. In his manga, the shading is so smooth and delicate, like it was drawn in charcoal. His anime lacks a bit, but the colors and movements seem natural.
I have to agree with what you said about Emily Sullivan the pictures you have up of her work are beautiful. Are you working in 3D or 2D it will be interesting to see whatever it is you end up doing.
ReplyDeleteI went out and purchased a bunch of materials to make the jewelry, but its really not going well. =/ i may have to pick a differant medium artist, or just draw the designs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you decided to pick Nigel Barker. I'd really like to see what you got so far on the jewelry.
ReplyDeleteoh carley my jewelry is not working. =( nothing is working for me. its all so horrible.
ReplyDeletenice job Amanda! do you have any instuctions for the jewelry? try the library or even the internet for help - are you trying to make the lace yourself too or purchasing lace and treading it together?
ReplyDeletei purchased some ribbon/lace at joanns. i bought a bunch of polymer clay and have been watching videdos and reading instructions online, but its not working out for me. the lace keeps falling apart, and the clay doesnt want to make shapes. it all looked alot better in my head.
ReplyDeletei love Nigel Barker! I'm also really interested to see what you will do with the jewelery:)
