Quirky Girl Recycled Tin Can Earrings

All A Quirk of Art jewelry is imagined, created and hand-crafted with quality craftsmanship by me, Beth Taylor, in my Bethlehem, PA studio.

My journey with jewelry began in 2002 as a creative outlet from a very stressful job. Who would have known that one simple weekend workshop would lead me to my life’s passion! But as soon as I picked up a torch and applied fire to metal, I knew I was hooked.

Never very interested in creating traditional jewelry, I explored ways to incorporate non-traditional materials into my work. When I began combining found and recycled objects with more traditional materials like sterling silver and gemstones, I found my true creative voice. I became an avid “picker”, determined to save remnants of the past from junk drawers and garbage heaps everywhere and elevate them to the status of wearable art.  read more …

In Darling-land we are online, um… a lot. Some days we go batty, others we are saved by the music. Today I noticed I converted a blog post by Darling K.Hendrix into a bit of fashion poetry in my mind (RTW Fall 2011 Collection lookbook). I bet she won’t mind, she’s lovely and so are her designs. It must have been meant to be, look – the words made a heart. I love the new knit/shred pieces and endless love for a the reclaimed sparkle in her collections. Catch some K.Hendrix on sale in her Darling boutique, and check out Fall ‘11 below.

Gorgeous    Gritty
recycled leathers, hand-dyeing.
Metallics: pewter, copper and bronze,
Knits hand-shredded, beaded, accents.

A Philosophy:
Reclaimed, recycled materials
Perfectly imperfect, and
one-of-a-kind.
