Original handmade micro-macramé and beaded jewelry. I get inspiration from natural forms and work mostly with natural materials—thread, silver, and semi-precious stones. I like simple beauty, but also enjoy more elaborate and intricate designs. lillianeelysian.com
An interest in artistic design has been my passion since my childhood although I have a B.S degree in Physics. My handmade jewelry is unique and original one or more technique such as, tatting, crocheting, knitting, beading, wire-wrapping etc. is used in my design. Tatting is one of the oldest lace making technique that, is a form of lace-making consisting of knotting threads into rings and chains, forming beautiful patterns of open and closed space. It is created a delicate yet sturdy lace.

My work incorporates a variety of metals (mostly sterling silver), gemstones, enamel, plastics, paper, wood, and vintage jewelry findings. My most recent work incorporates hand fabricated bezels, acrylic domes, and my own watercolor artwork illuminated behind the acrylic domes.
I enjoy working in alternative materials, most specifically plastics and love to incorporate color and texture in my pieces.
All of my work in hand fabricated and made by me in my studio at Silver Street Studios.
Gathering inspiration from explorations of daily life, the environment, history and travel – this is the basis for all that I create. My personal influences are diverse, ranging from early childhood exposure to Faroese folk art and Peranakan textiles & ceramics to modern artists such as Jun Kaneko and Dale Chihuly . Mediums of choice vary based on concept and practical use – ceramics, paint, textiles, upcycling, salvaged materials, collage & assemblage . Pure, simple and beautiful is my endeavor – Hansdottir is the resulting amalgamation.
What’s unique about my work is that I print in Platinum/Palladium. These prints originate as either film or digital images and are printed by hand here in my Montgomery, Texas studio. These are heirloom quality prints presented either framed or unframed. I am currently in AfterImage Gallery in Dallas. www.michaelpittmanimages.com
