Colorado based Meredith Funk of ItsJustSoYou or IJSY is a wonderful laser cutter who puts fun into jewelry. As she says, "Boring jewelry ends here." She wants people to "Make a statement with jewelry that represents who you are." She delivers with a delightful range of whimsy.
I first came across Meredith's work when I shared her acrylic astronaut jewelry in my past feature on Jewelry Celebrating 8 Women in Science.
I was struck by the clever way she used layered colored and transparent acrylic as well as iridescent and glow in the dark ones. Her coloring of etched and engraved areas add details for her fun designs.
There is something for everyone. UFOs, Dr Who's Tardis, Star Fleet insignia earrings even pink flamingo ones. Some of my favorites include her beautiful sakura cherry blossom flower earrings as well as the iridescent butterflies.
Meredith explains her unusual collection thusly : "I'm a big dork. I like all dork related things.
Doctor Who is my hero. Darth Vader isn't that bad. And Sailor Moon is my bun head.
I also like tofu, riding my cruiser bike, playing with my tamagotchi and obliterating acrylic with my laser. It's just what I do. "

ReplyDeleteThe pieces are cute no doubt but they are also highly conceptual.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute sewing machine pendant! very cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteHaving always wanted to go into space - perhaps even to go where no (woman) has gone before - I'm quite taken with her astronaut earrings.
ReplyDeleteI had to visit her shop and see what she (doesn't) carry when it comes to innovative designs.
These are colorful and fun ideas! Wonderful designs.
