When I was at the Taste of Couer d'Alene I had the funnest neighbors! That makes such a big difference in the enjoyment of doing a show. Across the isle from me was Margaret Aden and her Original Sin Jewelry.
Many of her designs twine fine gauge wire using a centuries old basket weaving technique into delicate and structured jewelry. This is how Maraget describes her technique:
"The technique I use is an adapted basket weaving technique. Instead of
using fiber, I use metal which has been drawn into gossamar threads and
then woven and twined, free form and using my ten digits with an
occasional hand tool. I pursue structure and texture using
non-traditional settings to show off bumpy, sparkly, crunchy focals.
I’m known for incorporating skeleton keys into my jewelry and other
vintage objects. I don’t find them– I hunt for them."

And if you happen to be in the Tuscon area you might want to sign up for one her classes at her new studio space.
