Yipes! Jewelry
by
Joyce Fritz
This delightful line of polymer clay and
mixed media pins and earrings in the forms of insects, dragonflies,
butterflies, frogs and lizards is designed by the artist, Joyce Fritz,
and produced in her studio with the aid of one or two assistants. Work is
made of polymer clay, recycled wire, colored wire, glass beads, metallic
leaf, and glitter. The artists incorporates the millefiori technique to
create patterns, as well as varied surface treatments.
Joyce Fritz Artist Statement:
I've always been interested in the natural world; particularly in how the
smallest elements relate to the big picture. Insects are a perfect example
of that. Their endless variety of color, form and pattern inspire me. Plus,
there are millions of species of insects on the planet, so I will never run
out of inspiration.
The design process is an eternal discovery. I enjoy that my work makes
people laugh and maybe even think!
I grew up in the photography business, earned a BA in Art, with an emphasis
on ceramics.
