Interview: Cyndi Lavin
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 by thursday
What’s the point of showing you great wearable artwork if we don’t show you who’s making it?
Cyndi Lavin has been kind enough to answer our questions.
1. What type of wearable art do you make?
I mostly make jewelry, although I dabble in almost any type of mixed media wearables. Large, bead-embroidered necklaces are my favorites to make.
2. How many of a kind do you make? Why?
One of a kind. It would be pretty near impossible to repeat one of my designs, and I just don’t believe it’s worth while to do…there are too many other pieces left to be made!
3. Do you wear your own creations? Which is your favorite?
Yes. Most days I do wear something small that I’ve made…earrings, a pin, a bracelet, or one of my lampwork glass beads as a pendant. When I want more “presence”, I wear one of my necklaces.
Cyndi sent us the picture above, telling us it’s her favorite.
4. Where can we find your work?
