Katy Hackney

So I just got bakc from California, which was really awesome. I went to Velvet da Vinci and saw a lot of really great stuff. I liked Katy Hackney's work. It's a lot of stylized graphic branches and fun patterns and colors.
This is a brooch by her with the stylized branch I mentioned. Many of her peices at Velvet da Vinci had that branch shape.
This brooch is made from vintage formica, plywood and silver. Many of her peices on her website use vintage formica and I think that it makes each piece really fun. I think that is an good way to get color and pattern in jewelry and I really like the way the silver looks with the formica background.
