Jewelry Inspired by Aging Skin

Posted: 29 Apr 2011 04:00 AM PDT

One of my favorite quotations (see my past post A Jewelry Box of Quotations), is that by Sonia Henie (1912-1969), the Norwegian figure skater and Olympic gold medalist. She said, " Jewelry takes people's minds off your wrinkles." What she meant was jewelry detracts from our aging and no longer smooth skin.

Necklace : silver, pearls, cord

Christiaan Lebens though doesn't see the negatives of getting older. He was so inspired by the weathered texture of skin, he came up with his unusual collection, "Ode to Imperfection."

Just like the fine wrinkles on our faces, it takes a closer look at his pieces to see his rendition of aging skin. These are brooches in silver and polyurethane :

His work goes to show, anything can be a source of inspiration!

Although you can buy the felt balls, they can also be made if you are already into felting. Felt ball jewelry can be fun - just add beads to the balls or leave them plain and connect them to other beads by piercing them wire.
