beautiful and feminine are only two of the ways i could describe the jewelry of uruguay born, israel-based artist janine golbert aka etsy seller eninaj. having lived around the world and making a successful career in both graphic and interior design, janine decided to pursue her dream of creating her own line of jewelry and accessories. the resulting collection is intricate, expressive and sensual, featuring laser cut sterling silver, a soothing and surprising leather color palette, pearls and fabric.

look at these gorgeous mixed media sculptures made from intricate paper cut outs, pipe cleaners, artboard and more from brooklyn’s kirsten hassenfeld. i love the scale and the delicate nature of the materials she uses. to me these pieces are poking and pushing around their edges, preparing to break into something bigger, into excess or obsession, or both.

these compositions are like a decadent party replete with extravagant strands of pearls and soft decorative chains strewn across the ceiling. i admire the softness of the light and the intimate feeling kirsten gifts to her viewers with these carefully crafted works.

kirsten is represented by the bellwether gallery in new york, and you can find out a lot more about her right here.
