This week I received a wonderful package in the mail- a beautiful hand-crafted ring from Dan Kemp in Iowa. I feel very lucky to wear this piece. He has superb craftsmanship and a truly professional finish to his work. All made from recycled materials in the back of his caravan studio.
'Everything around us has a story to tell and I take pride in giving my materials a second life as a piece of art. In particular the reused silverware jewelry inspires me to reflect on the materials' past life. At a flea market, I found an old spoon with lots of visible wear on one side of its bowl and I couldn't help wondering who owned that spoon and how many homemade meals they must have eaten with it.' - Dan Kemp
His unique pieces have wonderfully whimsical names like- Evening Star, Narcissus, Orange Blossom, First Love, Daybreak and Woodland Rose.

Fashion
A few things I am currently fond of. Fashion photography is a fun art form. I love the mix of fashion, textures, accessories, hair, make-up, exotic locations and gorgeous creatures.
