Woodland Chic Design Exploration 12 – Paula McDowell

Paula McDowell

When I asked artists to be on my Woodland Chic Design Team I knew they would produce beautiful pieces, but I was pleasantly surprised with some of the unique solutions artist came up.  When I asked Paula, she immediately took the challenge to heart. She created this wonderful locket. While simple at first glance, this project has a hinge with a balled hinge pin,  complex forming and shaping, AND a unique clasp/bail combo AND she made a ring to fit inside!
