ROCK STEADY

fo sho. provinence to come. tomorrow.

whimsy gets hard

the mastery that is dominic jones, matt irwin, and katie shillingford

You can't throw a stone...

...without hitting something lustrous, full of planes, angles and points. an age old obsession with shiny, gemmy, crystaly stones & metals is back in a big way. As i always say "don't hate, participate" and I'm not about to fall off this glam wagon.

THE SHAPE OF COOL

who can live without a pillow shaped like California, an eyeball doorknob and a necklace resembling some kind of reptilian backbone?

Shadowplay Jewelry. I love a great accessory as much as the next visual minded individual but never have i been so moved by a piece that i nearly shed a tear. I cant get enough of these images and these beautifully crafted pieces. When i say "right up my alley" i mean these bad boys knocked down every single pin.

read more about why i love shadowplay jewelry:

Taking inspiration from oceanic aragonite
structures, planetary space, crystal formations,
spiderwebs, and the concept of making the
abstractly invisible visible, Shadowplay embodies
the spirit of all things mystical.

With the desire to create beautiful,
one of a kind, hand-crafted pieces with
consciousness to materials and their
origin in mind, Heather set out to find
the best suited materials for her necklaces.
This led to sourcing organic + naturally dyed
yarns + Crystallized Swarovski Elements
+ Certified Fair Trade black silver closures.

Each necklace remains true to its shape,
but with a lightness that is found in
modern clothing, these amorphous
pieces take their own form and gesture
through their lifespan.

A native of Miami, Heather Goldberg
ventured across the country to study
fashion design and art history in
Los Angeles,California, receiving her
BFA from Otis School of Art and Design
in 2009. Between time in school, she
interned with the fashion design collective
Threeasfour in New York and with the Los
Angeles based label Band of Outsiders.
Heather lives and works from her studio
in Los Angeles.

cannot quite explain this preoccupation with transparency. maybe because its so rare in humans? i'll let you know when sherlock and i crack the case.
