One of a kind jewelry that "awakens the spirit"
Friday, August 6, 2010
11 am-8 pm
Brushstrokes will be hosting a unique presentation of story jewelry by Texas artist Julie Jarvis with an evening of midsummer story reading.
Julie's Story Necklace Collection is a unique line of more than 30 extraordinary designs with poignant short stories accompanying them with such titles as "Imprisoned Prince"...."Intuition"...."Erosion"...."Choices" and more.
Jules Art is not just about jewelry...it's about making meaningful connections with people.
Join us to hear the stories being read every 15 - 20 minutes on this midsummer night....and prepare for your heart to swell.
There is also a hand-made book that accompanies each necklace.
“In every necklace there lies a story says Jarvis” and when Julie began creating beautiful one-of-a-kind necklaces, her father, John Jarvis, took one look and said they needed a story to go with them. Mr. Jarvis became the storyteller and the “Story Collection” began and has grown to more than 30 designs.
The necklaces, bracelets, earrings and prayer beads are assimilated with Tibetan medallions, silver icons or semiprecious chunks of stone such as peridot, coral, turquoise or aquamarine. Often she attaches charms and dangles to add animation.
The wonderful and imaginative stories are written by her father John Jarvis. Jarvis said the key is to study the piece to see what story the piece tells. His gift has evolved from his travels around the world and his history of understanding the human condition as a practicing psychologist.
