The Wood Made Me Weak

I've been telling myself for weeks now that I need to cut down on my number of Jewelry posts in favor of more democratically spreading featured crafters from across all departments - but I'll just have to make that up later, because I just adore all of the jewelry (particularly the necklaces) from Amy Bengtson. I particularly fell in love with the Owl necklace above, which is available on her site for $125.

What's great about these pieces are the combination of wood and metal - almost like nature meets industry - and how that reflects in the designs on there. The illustrations are all very organic in what they depict or evoke, but are all rendered in a modern, silhouetted style or graphic pattern that speaks very much to design in the digital age. Absolutely gorgeous!
