Each piece of jewelry is designed and hand-made in Deidre’s studio in Columbus, Indiana. The art form is called Millefiori and was created over 1000 years ago by Venetian glass blowers. The same art technique has been adapted for use in Polymer clay. The process involves wrapping and layering the colored clay so that each color is a different layer in the clay design. No paint or automated machinery is used in the production of this art work.

Loftprints
Artist: Chuck Wimmer
Brecksville, OH
Chuck’s images are hand drawn on a computer using a Wacom tablet. The resulting limited-edition print is a museum-quality inkjet (giclee). They are produced in limited editions and have an archival life of approximately 100 years. According to Chuck, ‘SeriouslyPunny’ notecards were created to absolve any shred of guilt you may have for not contacting someone for a while. The relief felt after sending one of his cards, he claims, is third only to being healthy and drop-dead good looking.
