Today I'm featuring the work of Sharmen Liao. Sharmen makes beautiful knitted and crocheted wire jewelry. She uses traditional textile techniques to form unconventional structures for her jewelry. My favorites are her limited edition pieces. And for all of us Skinner blend addicts out there, notice how she "step patinas" this piece to create a beautiful effect. Her photography is purely exquisite and teases me to reach out and touch. But wait, she makes knitted handbags as well. I love the shapes and ripples she creates with her textile techniques. Collections of today - heirlooms of tomorrow. Enjoy and have a marvelous Monday!

Her necklace is exquisite - gets me thinking! Thank you for the link, Janice. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of crocheted metal, but this is wonderful...
Elegant shapes and beautiful textures. Love the combination of metal and fiber technique. Just inspiring!
I'm drooling over that reddish-orange bag... LOVE at first sight!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful artist with us.

Claire - I think the attraction is what she designs her crochet necklaces with. The pod is so gorgeous (I have no idea what it's made with) and just that copper piece alone added so much to the overall necklace.
Sharri - don't you kind of wonder what her inspiration was for that shape? It is breathtaking!
Kate - that orange bag is certainly drool worthy!
