Title: “Can You Hear Me Now?” Chain Necklace

Necklace consisting of T-Mobile and AT&T advertisements. I love the contrast between the bright pink from the T-Mobile newspaper ads and the very tiny fine print in the AT&T ads. This particular necklace style is my creative interpretation of a traditional gold chain necklace. I’ll have this neckpiece on hand at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival next weekend.

Expired Coupons are some of my favorite paper materials to explore for my jewelry. The linear textural patterns of the UPC Bar codes, the tiny fine print in the Terms and Conditions, and the bold colors. This neckpiece consists of all three of these elements. The bright red comes from Folgers Coffee coupons and the black comes from Olay beauty product coupons. Please be sure to see it in person at next weekend's Cherry Creek Arts Festival July 4-7 in Denver, CO. Booth 28.

This jewelry piece really challenged me to balance form and function. The Comic Strips really send my creative mind into overdrive. But it's often very difficult to spend as much time making the piece into a functional jewelry piece. How can I balance the colors and faces of the characters? How can I incorporate the black and white Comic Strips? How should I connect all the elements? How can I make it visually interesting on both sides? What kind of clasp mechanism is best? I could go on and on... But this is how my creative mind operates.

Snowy weather conditions in Indianapolis have pushed back my drive out to the American Craft Made Show. This gives me the perfect opportunity to put the finishing touches on this new neckpiece. It consists of handmade recycled newspaper Comic Strips beads (both Black and White and Colorful Comics). This is one of the new pieces I’ll have on hand this weekend at the Baltimore Show.

I’ve spent the past few months creating these reversible pendants consisting of Newspaper Comic Strips. As you’ve probably guessed, I love playing around with the expressive faces of the characters. The gal featured in this particular pendant pretty well captures how I’ve been feeling in recent weeks. Lol. I’ve finished 16 pendants so far. They’ll be on display at my upcoming shows later this month.

It's that time of year again! I'm heading out to Philly next week for The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. This show is very special to me because it was the very first fine craft show I ever did - and that was way back in 1995. I remember being so excited and so nervous. And my wonderful Mother was right there by my side. Oh how time flies! I hope to see you there next week. I have a lot of new pieces. #pmacraftshow #pmacraft #finecraft #recyclednewspaper #crosswordpuzzles #uniquejewelrygifts #hollyannemitchell

“Dollars and Cents” is a series of bracelets consisting of Dollar Bills and Expired Coupons. Inspired by a customer on the last day of this year’s Cherry Creek Art Festival. A customer was trying to decide between a bracelet consisting of Dollar Bill beads and a bracelet consisting of Expired Coupon beads. After a few moments of pondering, she looked up at me, smiled and said “You know, you could’ve made this decision a lot easier by just making a bracelet that has BOTH dollars AND coupons!” She wound up getting the coupon bracelet. I promised her I’d try creating some pieces consisting of both dollar bills and expired coupons. I really like the visual contrast of the green textural patterns of the dollars alongside the vibrant colors of the coupons. I also love the irony and tongue in cheek humor of Dollar Bills with Expired Coupons. So kudos to that Cherry Creek show customer for her great idea. We artists never know where we’ll get our next creative inspiration!

Back in 1991, when I originally began exploring newspaper as a jewelry medium, I played around with the contrast of Monday-Saturday (black & white) newspaper comic strips and Sunday (colorful) newspaper comic strips. The rich textural patterns of the black & white comic strips alongside the bold color patterns of the color comic strips. I continue enjoying playing around with these contrasts more than 30 years later.

What do I do with a large pile of War-related newspaper articles?? I divide them into sections: colorful headline photographs, headline titles, black & white headline photographs and news story text. I hand-form them into thousands of 3mm beads. And then I hand-stitched the newspaper beads to depict The Hand of Fatima symbol. This symbol represents Divine protection and strength. The larger tapestry measures 4.7" x 5.6" and the smaller tapestries each measure 2.8" x 4.3". They've recently been added to my website. I want to give a shout out to customer Suzann A. (who I met at The Smithsonian Craft Show a few years ago) for suggesting I create a piece depicting the Hand of Fatima symbol. The creating process was very cathartic and has inspired many new jewelry pieces that I'll be exhibiting at the upcoming Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver.

Her creativity and attention to detail are second to none. She also happens to be a warm and wonderful person! #pmacraftshow #finecraft

Day 2 of the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. #pmacraftshow #pma #finecraft #craftanddesign

Such a treat to take in the gorgeous Philadelphia city skyline this morning. So peaceful and serene. And just what I needed to soak in before heading to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show today.

This pendant pretty much sums up how I’m feeling after finally finishing my Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show booth set up! So glad I’m done and the show has just begun. I got a chance to chat with many of my artist friends and check out their amazing, inspiring creations. Shout out to Starr Hagerbring, Stacey Lee Webber, Jinbi Park, Debbie Adelson and Melissa Schmidt. The show takes place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City Philadelphia. The show runs through Sunday. I’m in booth 616. #pmacraftshow #finecraft #recyclednewspaper #pmamuseum #hollyannemitchell

I just finished this commission bracelet for a customer who wanted a bracelet consisting of only Peanuts comic strip characters. It will be a Christmas gift for her son. #finecraft #paperjewelry #uniquejewelrygifts #recyclednewspaper #hollyannemitchell
