Carol-lynn Swol

Conheci o trabalho desta artista através do blog Daily Art Muse e me encantei.

Carol-lynn Swol usa um tipo de papel de nylon sintético chamado Tyvek em suas jóias. Ela tinge, queima, dobra, empilha e amassa, assim criando cores, formas e texturas incríveis. Uma verdadeira obra de arte!

I saw the fantastic works of Carol-lynn Swol through the Daily Art Muse blog written by Susan Lomuto and was immediately in love with them. She uses Tyvek to make her jewels and in her own words she says:

" In creating jewelry, material and the passion for material manipulation help drive my creative process. This passion led me to begin creating pieces with Tyvek, a plastic product that feels as delicate as paper, but is far more durable. It is in the duality of this material that I yearn to find a sophisticated balance between durability and ephemeral seeming and between intentionality and spontaneity in design and form. In this collection of work I have dyed, burned, tufted and stacked the Tyvek to create various forms, colors, and texture".

Novos Projetos!

A minha mesa de jantar voltou a ficar coberta de papéis! Papéis cortados, papéis em branco, papéis pintados, papéis de todos os tipos! Uma velha idéia começa a se tornar realidade! Sempre quis usar as minhas pinturas em papel nas minhas jóias, mas somente agora acho encontrei o caminho - espero que sim!

Todos esses anos venho guardando os pedaços de papel que usei nas minhas monotipias e não sabia o que fazer com eles - quase joguei todos fora - ainda bem que não!

Aguardem os próximos passos!

My dining table is covered with papers again! Cut papers, painted papers, white papers, papers of all kinds! An old project begins to take shape, I am so excited! Since the beginning I wanted to use my paintings on paper in my jewels but only now it seems that I found the way to do it - I hope it works out!

Since I started painting my monotypes, I have been keeping some used papers which I thought were worthed doing but I didn't know what to do with them. I nearly threw them all out in the garbage - I am glad I didn't!

I will keep you posted!
