The Bird is The Word - Teresa Faris Jewelry

Team members and business partners

can come together from various sources. 

Teresa Faris has a delightful working partner.

She makes artful jewelry incorporating

wood that's been partially chewed by her parrot.

 

Her ongoing series of jewelry

 has led to an artistic

connection between the two species.

Aptly, this collection is called,
"Collaboration with a Bird."

This year, she added additional pieces to the collection

 and "Collaboration with a Bird II" has emerged.

Several of these pieces are currently on view at

Racine Art Museum in an exhibition

called, Animal Nature.

 

 

I'm always intrigued by an artist's willingness
 to experiment with unorthodox materials.

The emphasis on organic and textured forms
combined with a strong sense of
exploration makes this jewelry playful and spontaneous.

And there is a lot more work to be seen at her website.
