December's featured small business goes to...
This girl might have scrawny arms and little hands but don't let that fool you! She's not only knowledgable about using the torch, fusing metals, and making casts but she can bring her skills and equipment to events, festivals and instructional programs. Tiffany Asraf, founder of her small business Salt and Steel, has had an eye for jewelry design since childhood. Jewelry making and collecting is in her family lineage and her heirlooms have inspired her aesthetic. After lots of experimenting, completing courses from Montclair State University, and collecting jewelry over the years, Tiffany has created her own unique designs fusing gold and silver together. I fancy these rings so much, and they're only $25 on her etsy page.
This beetle cast ring can be made in silver or brass.
It's obvious that Tiffany's art and jewelry-making are closely related; you can see elements from her jewelry design in her artwork and visa versa. Tiffany's art can be found on her blogspot.Tiff is going away on a retreat in January and will return in the spring. Place an order for the holidays or revisit her etsy page after Memorial Day :)
Well written darling! Thanks :)
