Every piece is unique, well made and just plain awesome. Plus she lives not too far from me in Highland, Michigan. I'm always excited to see what other Michiganders (did I really just say Michiganders--yep I went there) are up to. Highland is right down the road from where my Grandparents house is and I spent a lot of time there growing up.<br /><br /></div><div align="center">Anyway, after admiring all of Kelly's jewelry I was really interested in the process. Here is what her profile says about it:<br /></div><div align="center"><br />"Each piece is created from a blank canvas of silver and enamel (powdered glass). This is a pretty amazing transformation, really! The enamel is tediously applied to the fine silver and fired in my kiln at 1450 degrees. The process is repeated anywhere from three to ten times before the piece is finished."</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Some photos from her studio:</div><div align="center"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374639009302422370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmoLi2WioRV-6vWtkp1lOUrz8RVbJC1cjLsXErZuw0t-1Tt0_mxEqbf0PHHXumWYOeJSLl3bOvihyphenhyphenVdAjieJlq4zM-OFHEC2IPqY2c2DGUdpx4ALmsqY9K06erTvWsie2Qf1pAKdQy847b/s320/a7.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 195px; CURSOR: hand" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374638932260086978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQL-izG98kpk_teDBRIHrCqJO6djGKf6kLc_kJV0cKzi-W7KC-sm708ufUmEpUpEeqGHlKaEw_0iqXaIQW0fJKUx9Ajeg1KiJE_Rdemcjw1iQm-CcHKFPu25tVvOGQuDa1xHN0a8t5gThw/s320/a6.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" /></div><div align="center">I don't know what these futuristic looking things are but I just love seeing part of the process.<br /></div><div align="center">Here are some examples of her beautiful jewelry from her shop:<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28093130"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374635073012795074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihDsH-lnSMk9AJkudaCwclYDZzY2L7aNcyKgLBfoq0vH5OFMpz_Go_PA4e0-hwF9cYzY4TB2QGplCr4iCA1iegxlT_OLldvhCRR9oDN4GRfdVg6KCUoJUwN7ScCbW3ObDGhD0_rv0GvJcW/s320/a5.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28093130">un deux trois necklace</a> $48<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27063604"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374634723300249458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVJ9Y6XLclEK8qVC8HIZkNbeubTflVhnk0RMP-BsysyHbrZO0sq51zBm_u3CUwyzg6_xi7UXaU40IckNM2zKeVhvw8Gi3go_WNbjjGWqin7RoN9NZKHKLC01HLoZhgaoFPYkbwuOPZUf1/s320/a4.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27063604">pod necklace</a> $48<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27556076"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374634357883230690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0S8iaBHhW16rTYzMW5q3VSUKrfSlgazI0HOZkjqj-TMM_dVWo-RjQojeNktGED1IXmDwut4vzaygqzREE642r4jsvzb19CVOK_10RC-uk78ow-8vrquhg1ifzMszY0YoS1r2bsErTYdyb/s320/a2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27556076">orbit necklace</a> $45<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19137198"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374633937982513266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIiUgDY41cfL7yMmt1ZWUpsQil0v4cnbLYbG9JtTJrmufIZ-00-QJouUwtyWkW5GV-eNkzazYBty_JDKjutcpdTcBK11WXXK8tCMJDzhnyxwXbcUCXPm7NS138IuxB72tRLWsX6DLeyn6s/s320/a1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19137198">circle ring...enameled</a> $58<br /><br />She also has a <a href="http://enamoredstudio.blogspot.com/">blog</a>!

Friday's Favorites 8/14 Dream Cruise

<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">Cruisin'</span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I live in the Detroit area about 2 miles from Woodward Avenue and every year in August they have the Woodward Dream Cruise. I have a love/hate relationship with "The Cruise," as the locals call it. On Saturday, when the official day of the cruise happens people bring out their classic cars and people flock by the thousands (actually last year it brought out one million visitors) to sit in their lawn chairs and watch them roll down Woodward. It is a lot of fun. Where else would you see a working shower/bathtub being pulled behind a classic car (and the bathtub matched the car and had someone in it...with bubbles). The hate part comes from trying to get around town the week before because the unofficial cruise started on Monday. If you want to get anywhere after 6pm, plan on it taking at least twice as long.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">My first experience at the cruise was while I was a photography student at U of M. I was fascinated by the social relationships that change once someone gets inside their car. Even though a car is full of windows and people can see you it's almost like an invisible barrier goes up around you. People act completely different in their cars than if, say they were standing in line somewhere. If the person in front of you didn't move up right away once the line started moving would you shout out, "Move it!" just like a blast to your horn implies? Or if someone jumped in front of you while you were walking would you easily yell a profanity and maybe flip them the bird? Probably not but if you were in your car you might (hey, I'm not judging). I brought my camera along to the cruise and shot away. We saw some crazy stuff! I printed some of the photos onto transparencies and made a mixed media piece out of a red vintage mustang door that I had acquired. I got a friend to weld 2 pipes to it so it was free standing and put the transparencies in the window. Because it was free standing it represented that invisible barrier I was talking about. I loved that piece but unfortunately due to not having any storage, it got thrown away.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Anyway, in honor of the 2009 Woodward Dream Cruise this week's items are all cruise related! Hope you like them and remember to buy handmade!</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28880111&ref=sr_list_13&&ga_search_query=classic+car&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369622532656232690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3RgoK4VAWECNlS1-TN1PZbbr5TYtpTYeBF1LDPXf1s7bUDqgKRjNLUra3W9jQDdn8R81vny1ZP97tb88KdvctT01JkQzBcuuVG3UpT9ZIDvAJYOeTUAqHiuItZVz5L6JlZ3pN_E-ZvAPx/s320/a11.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
