New Collection: Radiant Energy


I released this collection a little while ago, but just now realized I forgot to post it here--
I made a small collection of primarily recycled glass pieces for an installation in collaboration with glass object artist Kendal Hathaway, the show runs from December 4-30th 2011, in Phoenix, Arizona.(they're all currently for sale there)
excerpt from Kendal's blog about the origin of the show:

"While I was in Oregon this summer doing my art residency I came across Emily Baker's shop/studio called Sword + Fern and instantly feel in love with her glass jewelry.  We both work in glass in completely different ways but similar overall aesthetic.  I am soooo happy that we were able to pull the show together living miles apart."
i will post photos of the gallery show asap!
Part of Radiant Energy will soon be available over on Portland photographer Lisa Warninger's site, Urban Weeds , and all the pieces can be ordered through the shop by emailing: sales[at]swordandfern.com

New jewelry in the studio+ where to find it elsewhere in Portland

Happy New Moon.
Plant your seeds of intention today.
Here are a few new designs:
Some are on their way to Radish Underground, where I will be the featured artist of August, and some will find a home over at Noun, where Stephanie has carried my work for almost 5 years now-you can always find a huge selection of my classic pieces there, but now she'll have a collection of my colorful glass and stone hand-hammered bronze hoops.
I will be away from the shop+studio from August 2-8th, so if you are hoping for a new piece of sword+fern, please stop by either one of those two nice shops and say hello, they both will have a good amount to choose from.
These new additions to the Underground Moongarden collection were inspired by music I've been listening to and in love with lately..Fleet Foxes and Austra. I got the chance to see both of them live last weekend. I wanted to make some pieces that feel like their songs; rampant and valiant and enthusiastic.




All the anger's lost
Freed from the beat and the pulse
Laughing like a fool
Playing for the heart and the soul
And the soul

Capture something red

Paste it to the edge of your bed
Someone will be there
Someone who will know what it says
What it says
    -Austra

If I know only one thing
It's that every thing that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
Often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
And I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
Why should I wait for anyone else?

New Stockist: Alternative Apparel Store on Abbott Kinney in Venice

I'm excited to share that Sword+Fern jewels will soon be available at the new Alternative Apparel clothing store on Abbott Kinney in Venice Beach!
VPs of retail for the store came by the shop and discovered my line while in Portland over the holidays- they felt we had a similar voice and aesthetic and made contact.
I'll be sending them a collection of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in time for their flagship store opening on Earth Day this year-April 22.
I checked out their blog and photos of the store under construction- looks like they will use a lot of reclaimed woods and metals for the interior-so nice.
Here's a couple shots from their site:




the new sword+fern bracelets they'll carry

from their blog-
..."A reflection of his community-centered creative vision, [Co-founder+Chief creative officer] Greg Alterman says, “We wanted the space to serve not just as a retail store,” he emphasizes, “but as a community venue that really captures the creative energy of the Alternative brand and lifestyle.”

 The store's aesthetics are centered on creative and natural details that go beyond reclaiming old wood and recycled materials, though- they also plan to design a lush garden space where edible and organic flowers will grow for in-store arrangements, offer yoga sessions on the back deck, plan charity fundraisers, and exhibit art shows as well.. sounds like a few of my favorite things are going to be nestled right next to my jewelry in beautiful L.A.!
They don't know it yet-but they're going to get a sweet bonus in their shipment from me-a Lovers DarkLight album to play loud and clear at the opening party-!
