Artist Spotlight - Regina Pruss

il_fullxfull.164996339

we've been meaning to start an artist spotlight series - a way to showcase all the abundantly talented folk who grace our shop with their wares - but modcloth beat us to the game on featuring one of our favorite jewelry artists, regina pruss, and her line, chain chain chained, which you can read here. you gotta love a girl who names al stewart's "year of the cat" as one of her obsessions.

at pack rats we've been lucky enough to carry the following pieces:

we also received a new shipment in the mail from regina quite recently. no photos yet, but if lions, tigers, elephants, skulls, or raw gems tickle your fancy - you should run over to take a peek immediately. and though we don't have these in shop - just staring at them is like looking at a billion stars:

to me sliced geode always seems like the universe captured in stone.

similar, no? and stunning. but i digress, regina's work, with it's whimsical charm, has that effect. come see for yourself.
