First Blog Giveaway -- Eco-friendly Jewelry from Nineteenthirteen
Welcome to our first ever MCH Team blog giveaway! Terri of Nineteenthirteen from Elkhorn, WI is our featured artist this time.
Terri's jewelry is eco-friendly, inspiring with a touch of vintage feel. Her Fine Silver Hydrangea is my fave.
The pendant has a texture of rain! And I can fee
l the movement of the hydrangea under the rain. Terri will be giving away a pendant from her Vintage Button Collection -- Distressed Petite Bouquet.
Following is a short interview with Terri, enjoy!
Why did you pick the name Nineteen Thirteen?
That is the year that my grandmother Rose was born. We always called her "Busia," which is grandmother in Polish. I spent a lot of time with her growing up and she is quite a bit why I am the way that I am. She was a hardworking farm wife and I learned an appreciation for gardening, sewing, baking, cooking, and general thriftiness from her. She was sustainable and eco-friendly before they were cool!
When did you first become interested in Metal Clay? How long have you been designing jewelry using Metal Clay?
I became interested in Metal Clay about two years ago, bought a packet of PMC3, and have been hooked ever since!
What inspires you?
Friends, family, animals, nature, food...
Most of my pieces have a story behind them. I love designing custom pieces that evoke a memory for a client. Creating customized gifts for clients makes me smile.
Why did you design the giveaway piece? What is special about your giveaway piece?
I searched a few flea markets for vintage buttons to make into jewelry. The button was used as a mold to recreate the button in silver. I love the vintage soul the pendant has.
What do you enjoy most about working in Metal Clay?
The forgiveness of the clay! If I am not happy with the piece I can just roll the clay out and try again!
Terri loves to work on custom pieces and would create meaningful piece perfect just for you. You can find more of her inspiring jewelry on Etsy:
