BMF Jewelry came first, I’ve made a lot of things under this name, it’s all about the twirlylines and little dots. I began by tracing, going through books of illuminated manuscripts, architecture, posters, plates-literally anything with decorative lines around the edges from any part of the world. Eventually I didn’t need to trace anymore, I like to think I’d combined elements from all these styles and turned them into something new. I sawed the designs out of silver sheet and twisted wires with a similar balance and rhythm.
