Stephanie Connell describes her paper jewelry: "I work almost entirely in paper. My designs are created using heavyweight watercolor paper and are then layered with my digital artwork. Each piece is specially treated to make it very durable, not fragile. The findings are sterling silver."

Vince Zahnle explains how he constructed this sterling silver piece: "Borders and beasts were sawn from oval sheet blanks, then hard-soldered to plain oval blanks. Details of the beast interlacing carved with a hand graver, then they were chemically blackened. Next, hammer-dished against a wood surface, and pin furniture was fabricated from 3/32" sterling wire and attached to the backs. Finally, finished by normal abrasives (#400 emery then medium and fine buffing compound)."

Joy Ireland submitted these malachite earrings.
