In Landscape, I’ve taken a break from the real natural materials--leaves, pods, seeds--which have compelled my work for many years to create miniature, artificial worlds within the context of jewelry. Working with model railroad landscape materials lets me create tiny snapshots of the natural world, scenes that can trick the eyes into believing they are seeing something much larger. In several pieces, this deceit is challenged by the combination of these small constructed natural forms with full scale, cast sterling branches, buds and leaves which, in material, are equally unreal and illusionary." -- <a href="http://www.sarahhoodjewelry.com">Sarah Hood, Jewelry Artist</a><br /><br /></span></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sarahhoodjewelry.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644609921710709906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlr4LU6G1yLi0cWFd90PlwuqTFt2k0IS9cKmOq6rFSxlcbm9FZl9ZGAyjB5-d-8bc5sfUIWEhXQp1KI4tkqrNtyLZv6LpYDFOsP-V9Is3gpkeqzVzQAvU2oi8SyjWwbRZh5dFeLhsdTW3O/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-24+at+8.46.01+AM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 349px; height: 132px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />In addition to her inventive landscape jewelry/art, she creates what one might consider 'more wearable' pieces in gold, silver and enamel.

Break up the set and "give love" to everyone you love. Alexander Girard (1907 - 1993) created iconic mid-century modern designs for such companies as Herman Miller and Braniff International Airways. His work married the timeless lines of the modern with the playfulness and bold color of Latin American folk art.<br /><br /><br /><br />The estate chose to work with Columbia Forest Products because PureBond is the only widely available cost-neutral formaldehyde-free plywood panel. Girard had a long history of environmental concerns, especially about pollution, and PureBond technology offers a way to mitigate indoor air problems by eliminating the risk of toxic and carcinogenic VOC's that can be released by composite wood panels made with urea formaldehyde resins.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About <a href="http://columbiaforestproducts.com/">Columbia Forest Products</a></span>:<br /><br />Founded in 1957, Columbia Forest Products is North America's largest manufacturer of hardwood plywood and hardwood veneer, a leader in sustainable forestry, and innovator of formaldehyde-free PureBond technology.<br /><br /><br /><br />Columbia's decorative interior veneers and panels are used in cabinetry, furniture, architectural millwork and commercial fixtures.
