About

Abby began creating jewelry a decade ago and fell in love with electroforming in 2020 following her first attempt at electroforming a fern. Through trial and error, she began hand designing pendants and keepsakes through this process. Electroforming is a process in which an object is prepared, painted with conductive paint and placed in an electrolytic bath. While in the bath copper transfers and builds onto the treated piece by means of an electric current. The process can take anywhere from 8-24 hours depending on the piece. Each piece created through this process is unique and can exhibit bumps, current lines and other imperfection adding to its rustic aesthetic.

Spending time among nature is both inspirational and restorative to Abby's wellbeing. Aside from collecting found objects she pays close attention to natural colors, shapes, textures and patterns documenting her inspiration through notes and photographs. Her documentation allows her to outsource materials that reflect her inspiration and create site specific jewelry and keepsakes that stay true to the land as well as abide by leave no trace principals.
