Artist Linda MacNeil's outstanding works in contemporary jewelry are
shown in exquisite detail. Nearly 200 pendants, neck collars, and
necklaces are shown, along with matching earrings in an exquisite
exploration of MacNeil's celebrated works in hand-fashioned glass gems
and metalwork. An essay by Suzanne Ramljak, curator, art historian,
and editor of Metalsmith magazine, summarizes the artist's career and
contributions to the worlds of jewelry design and glass art. A
foreword by Helen W. Drutt English, art historian, collector, and
gallery owner, introduces readers to MacNeil's role in the current
craft movement. Portraits of owner-patrons of MacNeil's work model
pieces they own, illustrating the important marriage between wearer
and the art object. This book is a tribute to the artist, and an
inspiring portfolio for collectors and designers.
