Eco Rings made from Felt and Upcycled Computer Parts Posted: 12 Jul 2011 04:25 AM PDT Kedmi Hanan's final project at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel was a challenge he rose to in an admirable fashion. He was looking for "experimental material combinations." His Felt Follows Form collection of felted rings marries the ancient craft with modern high tech components. As he said in his blog, it's the "low tech fashion production of high tech jewelry'! This is eco jewelry at its finest! He said, "I was inspired by the esthetics of the heat sinks which are devices attached to computer parts that tend to get overheated." I particularly like how he uses the felt to form the ring as well as hold these parts in innovative ways. If any have doubted if felt could be used in jewelry, these photos should convince you otherwise!

Two Giveaway Winners Again!! Posted: 11 Jul 2011 03:30 PM PDT Infinity Onyx Pendant Many of you were taken with Nano Style's Jewelry and their gift certificate giveaway.  If you didn't know, they also has a Facebook page. Shaiha declared she was in love!  While Joanne ruefully added, "I just had to go look!"  Vicky made me chuckle with her tremendous effort. She said, "I'm a blog subscriber and I can only do 85 versions but Please, Asseblief, ju lutem, Խնդրում ենք, Xahiş edirik, Mesedez, Калі ласка, моля, Si us plau, molim, prosím, venligst, alstublieft, Palun, pakiusap, Ole hyvä, S'il vous plaît, por favor, გთხოვთ, Bitte, παρακαλώ, કૃપા કરીને, tanpri, कृपया, kérem, vinsamlegast, Silahkan, le do thoil, per favore, してください, ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು, Praesent, Lūdzu, Prašom, Ве молиме, Sila, Jekk jogħġbok, Vennligst لطف, proszę, por favor, vă rog, пожалуйста, молим, prosím, Prosimo, Por favor, tafadhali, Vänligen, கொள்ளவும், దయచేసి, กรุณา, lütfen, Будь ласка, Xin, ביטע Os gwelwch yn dda, pick me!" Alas, random.org does the picking.  And the winner of the $100 Nano Style Jewelry gift certificate is Lisa of Pine Ridge Treasures.  For the second week in a row, the giveaway winner from the contest before failed to contact me in time.  So I have redrawn another winner for the Creative Wire Jewelry book giveaway who happens to be Lee! Congratulations to both winners! For more tutorials check out my Jewelry Making Tips Liked what you read? Don't miss a post!
