The moment I saw Dolton Ghetti’s amazing sculptures, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘Why?!’ But it takes such an obvious level of skill and out of this world patience (not to mention, a steady hand) to create these mini gems, that I was instantly awestruck. His inimitable work is now showcased at Lori Warner Studio. It’s probably easier to create art through a pencil than on the actual tip of one. Read more

Talk about eco-friendly jewelry! A bonsai on your cocktail ring? Sure. Twigs around your neck? Perfect. She does it with such care, restraint and attention to the ‘chic level’, though, that I’d be delighted to wear one right away and water it after taking it off tonight.
