Fine Silver Fern Earrings
Sophisticated style are found in these Organic Fine Silver Fern Earrings. Artisan crafted from real ferns. I used recycled pure silver to make these fine silver earrings. FEATURES: -Fine Silver Earrings -Organic -Handmade by Robin Lyons in my Ky studio -Earring are 1 1/4 inches long -Drop from the ear is 2 inches -Patina added All of my recycled metal jewelry is made from Metal Clay. The Fine Silver, Sterling Silver, Bronze and Copper originate from recycled fine metal particles suspended in an organic binder. They are molded and shaped by hand (other than a kiln, no machinery is used). Each piece is derived from my drawings then sculpted into a variety of materials and pressed into the clay. The clay is then fired for several hours in a kiln to insure its strength. It becomes pure metal at this point. Hand refined and polished and sometimes a patina added for depth. The whole process takes several hours of pains staking work, usually under a magnifying glass to produce a one of a kind piece of wearable art. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Art has been a passion of mine for over 30 years. Though I started coloring on a chalkboard ( and furniture and walls) when I was around 3 years old. People started requesting my work when I was 18 and attending Louisville School of Art.
I use to participate in local Juried Art Shows(my store kind of stopped me from this), I have been featured on local television and in several local papers. My paintings hang in private collections all over the world.
I now live on a working farm shared with my husband, my teenage son, 3 cats, 2 dogs and 19 Rocky Mountain Horses. It is a fabulous place to live. I also own and operate the local country store which is 114 years old.
I use several techniques to produce my original paintings. En plein air, where I sometimes finish the piece on location, sometimes I only paint a grisaille and photograph the scene where it is finished in the studio. Some work is strictly from a photograph. Still-lifes are painted from a either a composition in front of me or by photo.
I am also working with precious metal clay. A fascinating form of art. It combines design and technical ability to produce a beautiful work of wearable art.
Precious Metal Clay is not clay per say, but a rather a combination of organic material combined with recycled metal particles. Once the artist has formed their piece it is fired in a kiln for several hours. This firing process burns away the organic binder leaving solid metal.
Though it takes me away from my easel, it is the most fun I have had in years..
No matter what genre I have chosen to work in my artwork is always a deeply personal endeavor. I hope you will enjoy!
