Susan Kasson Sloan

I mentioned Susan Kasson Sloan last week, the woman who curated the 500 Plastic Jewelry Designs book, so today I thought I would devote a separate post to her amazing jewelry work. I love the fluidity and painterly qualities Susan achieves with such a humble, hardware store material such as resin. Below are some of Susan's more recent designs that I'm head over heels for…


It's so inspiring to see how much her work has evolved, even though she has stuck with essentially the same materials throughout her career. I guess it kind of gives me hope that my work will continue to evolve as well (especially since these days it feels incredibly stagnant.)

Thanks Elaine. It's really been more like one of those years! but I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks Ashley - so painterly right?! It blows me away that they are resin!
