They may look like stone but they are actually very lightweight hand cast paper.
Welcome to Organic Symmetry. All of the pieces in my shop are one of a kind and handmade by me, including the paper. I use hand cast cotton pulp dyed with non-toxic dyes. I press the wet pulp into molds and other found objects to create dimension and texture. The paper is then enhanced with metallic powders to give it a mottled, earthy, almost stone-like quality. Then the mold and objects are removed, the pressed pulp is dried and sealed for durability and water resistance. Sterling silver, copper and brass are attached to the cast paper to complete each piece.
I hope you enjoy looking around my shop.

5 out of 5 starsThis pendant was a custom order, in which I asked Julie to recreate a brooch as a necklace in the Pantone 2022 color, Very Peri. Although I own other pieces by this artist, including a couple brooches purchased many years before she opened her shop on Etsy, I am still amazed at how beautiful and striking her work is. This pendant exceeded even my high expectations. Julie is exceptionally responsive and attentive to customer requests. I couldn’t be happier with this latest piece!!

5 out of 5 starsI love Julie’s work!! The compositions, textures, and metal elements complementing the art paper are beautifully crafted. They resemble stone, rock or other heavy materials, which I find appealing, but they are featherlight and extremely wearable. I purchased her work many years ago from an art gallery, and they have held up incredibly well. I very highly recommend her jewelry!

5 out of 5 starsThis piece is a custom order, and I couldn't be more pleased! I love the use of mixed metals with alternative materials like paper, and this pendant is a perfect example. It is bold in scale and striking. The artist was extremely friendly and attentive to my request. I very enthusiastically recommend her work!

5 out of 5 starsI bought this for my grandmother's birthday, and she absolutely loved it. It's very lightweight and easy to wear. She wears it all the time to pin her scarves. Beautiful item for a very reasonable price!

4 out of 5 starsThese came out very nicely, though it was very hard to assess the color via our various monitors. Otherwise, a nice pair of earrings, unusual, and a good gift. Thanks.
