Penelope Weinstein

Artist's Statement
Penelope Weinstein creates necklaces from found objects for her signature jewelry line. Each piece is entirely unique and incorporates a range of unusual materials, such as pencils, milk tokens, buttons, or bullet casings.

Penny's unique art jewelry evolves from many years workng in various creative media including graphics, painting, collage, basketry and sculpture. Today her work focuses on the three-dimensionality of sculpture and jewelry. In creating this jewelry, she explores the interplay of antique and unusual objects with the textures of hand-knitted felted wool and other fibers.
