Silver and Gold Wire Jewelry. "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over,It turned into a butterfly"--UnknownThis quote has become the spirit of my jewelry business.In 2003, while recovering from cancer, I was fortunate to participate in a free art therapy class for cancer patients at The Creative Center in New York City. I learned the basic weaving technique that I use today. And since then, I have created more than 100 types of patterns and shapes. My business was born with the "Hope of a Butterfly" to start life anew.So it is an important mission for Liane By Design to keeping paying the Hope forward bymaking a difference in the communityby sharing art, design and a big heart to heal and inspire.My designs are made by hand using a wood loom. I use silver andgold wire. Stones are strung on the wire and dropped into positionas it is being made and then shaped into the final design.It is a unique technique that combines textile weaving and metal work and createsjewelry with a strong yet delicate look.
