Marvelous Monday

Big, bold, and excessity royal.  Barbara Stutman specializes in working with various wires using several different textile techniques to create these tactile wonders.  Her combination of color and texture is just so visually appealing.  This first piece is from her Excessity-Royal Series.  Take a stroll through her website - she gives us something to think about and definitely something to chuckle at.























"The work in my Royal Series is inspired by the aesthetics, the workmanship, the scale and the sheer extravagance of Indian royal jewellery; at the same time, it is in no way responsible for exacting the environmental or human tolls associated with the mining of gold, platinum or precious gemstone"


Then thinking out of the box, she made this Empty Bezel Series.  The necklace below has a barnicle kind of feel to it with her use of organic and clustered shapes.  Hope you enjoy and have a marvelous Monday!

I had the chance and honour to take 2 classes with Mrs Stutman in Montreal. Not only she is a great artist but also a great lady! I love the boldness of her creations but also the fact that it's so fluid and light at the same time!
