Nel Linssen Paper Jewelry




"Nel Linssen takes an intuitive approach to her bracelets and necklaces made from paper; however, it is also an approach based on years of research and haptic knowledge. The relationship between wearer and viewer is the essence of Linssen's jewellery, its articulation on the body enhancing and highlighting its colours and textures. While the wearer is aware of the sensuous nature and movement of the jewellery, the viewer is drawn to the constant visual changes to the work wrought by the slightest movement of the body. " - The Scottish Gallery

*Dutch designer Nel Linssen is also represented by Charon Kransen Arts

The Andean Collection at Nolcha FW 2009


Congratulations to Amanda Judge on today's presentation of her totally inspiring, socially conscious Andean Collection at Nolcha's Ethical Fashion Preview/New York Fashion Week. I have featured AC and their talented artisans on ecco*eco before, but the latest Fall 2009 collection is even more timely and fashion-forward in spirit. My favorite new piece is the Circle Cascade Necklace, hand-carved from tagua by artist Christian Romero.

Artist Olga Lucia Moran, age 31: Not long before working with The Andean Collection, Olga she was selling grain at the local market, forgoing meals in order to feed her children
