LILY IN FLUX is...
Handmade recycled jewelry + accessories made with vintage objects, antique materials, curiosities, and ephemera....Lily in Flux jewelry is funky & nostalgic with a found object edge.
Using everyday bits from the past, found objects and urban artifacts with history: 1950's eyeglass lenses, skeleton keys, bullet casings, animal teeth, typewriter keys, chandelier crystals, deer antlers, vintage jewelry parts, & clock mechanisms, I turn just about everything into tiny wearable assemblages.
*Why Handmade??? "Creating something that enhances another person's life, however small a difference it makes, enhances my life & adds to the overall joy in the world. Handmade objects have more meaning, more history; a story that new plastic junk from a giant big box store will just never have. The concept that I am a part of a movement in this country that is connecting human beings again is satisfying. To purchase something made by, or grown by, another person, in person...that is exciting."

"I have always been a scavenger of sorts, constantly collecting even the most unassuming nostalgic treasures, ephemera, things left behind, objects with history, & stories from the past. I try to make something beautiful and interesting out of discarded bits of life. All of my work reflects this need to salvage & repurpose, mixing paper and paint, objects and artifacts, text and textures to create a story, a puzzle or simply evoke emotion."
