NineLivesStudio

Welcome to Nine Lives Studio - aka Ellen Miffitt's art studio.

I've been very neglectful over the last several months due to a total interior remodel of my small home. Just the two bathrooms and the enclosed porch [soon to be The Studio] to tackle... crazy chaos but so beautiful!

While I work in the following styles & techniques: Sumi-e , Japanese Style Zen ink painting; Sumi Collage; Collage [mini and regular size]; Watercolor & Watercolor Pencil drawings, Block Prints and PMC jewelry - Precious Metal Clay along with enameling.

My Etsy shop focuses on the Precious Metal Clay jewelry. My PMC designs feature faces – green man and representations of Japanese deities such as autumn, winter, and love to name a few; and a more organic series inspired by nature. Both take advantage of different features of metal clay.

Developed by Mitsubishi Corporation from the silver reclaimed from developing photography and x ray film, the fine silver residue is combined with a binder which burns off when the PMC is fired. The resulting product is 99.9% pure silver.
