Fragments of Time

So excited to finally unveil this collection I have been working on with a friend for more than a year!

Medieval Incunabula Jewels

Wanted to do this amazing project justice, and as you can imagine the first test was an intense one! I am really happy with what I have created with the beautiful fragment supplied by Michael Laird Rare Books, and hope you enjoy the first four of hopefully more to come!

Museums, Saints & Relics!

Busy days in the PR studio!

 Dropped off jewelry for the Museum School Art Sale beginning next week,

 getting ready for the Snow Mall show the first weekend in December, 

and spending evenings researching and sketching designs for the upcoming

British Museum's Treasures of Heaven Saints, relics and devotion in Medieval Europe

I couldn't be more excited about working with the gift shop again, 

and this is quite the dream project for me! Really hope to visit this time.

A little inspiration...

And of course, will be updating the Etsy pages, both Lyra Parrish and PR many times up until the holidays, so check in on our facebook page for what's new!

New Books to inspire...

I used to come home from LA with a suitcase full of new clothes & boots. These days, it's books!

Bosch & Van Eyck books came from the incredible TASCHEN store in Beverly Hills. What a temptation that place was. There were a few limited edition David Bowie &  Ellen von Unwerth books that had us wishing for lottery wins, still fun to browse. If you visit, say hi to Nick for us!

Book Soup is where I found the Medieval Jewellery V&A book, what a collection of beauty!

We also purchased books on Punk photography ~ Ask The Angels & Made in the UK for youthful memories :) So much fun.
