sienna gallery

One more gallery post for today. Its been a while since I've visited Sienna Gallery's website, and I'm happy to see that's its finally updated. (It was just a splash page for a while.) The site now contains a blog, images of artist's work (including this brooch by Tracy Steepy, shown below), and upcoming exhibitions. Enjoy your double-dose of gallery website weekend browsing.

velvet da vinci

San Francisco gallery Velvet da Vinci's website is a wonderful visual resource for art jewelry and metalwork. The website includes multiple images of the work of over 80 artists, as well as a listing of current and past exhibitions. Happy browsing!

Below: Jailworms, 2006.

inv/alt design

I keep stumbling across the work of Inv/Alt Design around the web, and keep coming back to these snap cups. They are a wonderfully playful blend of sculpture and functional object. Check out Inv/Alt's website, blog, etsy shop, CUSTOM shop, and flickr site.

Bonus: look for the pictures of the friendship rings in the design studio photo set.

the broken plate

Thanks to Juliet of the Broken Plate Pendant Company for the mention today on her blog. Juliet makes jewelry from broken plates (I'm lucky enough to own a brooch) and she's another great web 2.0er. Check out her website, blog, flickr site, and etsy shop. Now that's some web presence.

marta lwin

Marta Lwin is an artist and designer whose work intersects with science and technology. The series epiSkin jewelry was created by culturing cells in a lab. The cells are designed to grow in lace patterns in order to explore the control of technology over biology. You can view more of Marta's work on her blog, metabreed.

EpiSkin jewelery is included in the exhibition Coming Into View.

abigail percy

If you've spent any time scanning design blogs, you're probably already familiar with the work of Abigail Percy. But in case you're not, Abigail makes a beautiful line of production jewelry using botanical themes. What I'm most impressed by is her ability to build a strong web presence without a traditional website. Check out Abigail's blog, flickr site, and etsy shop.

arthur hash

Arthur Hash has been popping up everywhere lately, from the ACC Baltimore show to a variety of blogs. But the most exciting might be his new Etsy shop. Now you can get your very own pink chainsaw or hand grenade pin right here for just $35. You can also see more of Arthur Hash's work on his Flickr site.

Just a little note, I failed to mention Arthur Hash's website when I originally posted. You can visit that here.

welcome!

Welcome! This blog is one component of a project designed to introduce jewelers and metalsmiths to web 2.0 technologies. (blogs, flickr, etsy, etc.) You can view another component of the project (the wikispace) here.
While the wikispace is predominantly informational, this blog is meant to be a visual run-down of the best jewelry, metals, and related objects on the web. I hope to showcase blogs, flickr sites, etsy shops, and some traditional websites as well.
Enjoy!
