| From Amanda's blog |
Aside from Peppermint apparel and Excessary accessories ( wow a mouthful there), I decided to feature different artists on a rotating basis. This would keep the store fresh and allow customers to have access to new work in varying mediums. Today I want to take a moment to talk about Amanda Preske & her jewelry venture: Beadwork by Amanda.
Beadwork by Amanda features handmade jewelry and accessories made using recycled circuit boards and resin.
Amanda is a PhD student studying chemistry at the University of Rochester. A few years ago when her brother dismantled a computer, she found herself fascinated by the circuit board and the range of colors within the component.It was only a matter of time before she started to combine the parts with resin to create the "geeky" beautiful jewelry.
She also creates a line of jewelry called Azure Seas . This contemporary line features sterling silver and high quality gemstones pieces that are classic, colorful and beautiful.
Amanda is also one of the founders of Mayday Underground: one of Rochester's most awesome indie craft shows. My first encounter with Amanda was at the very first Mayday 4 years ago.
Amanda's jewelry will be available for purchase at Peppermint starting Saturday 04/14/12.

I didn't know about Asure Seas - great addition to the very cool circuit board jewelry!
