Story jewelry- told from found objects and a healthy sense of humor- by Kerry Leasure. Each piece tells a story. Contact me today! [email protected]

One of a kind statement jewelry created from vintage, antique and found object. I'm a southern chick, mom to three chicks, and I find the objects for my pieces- here, there… you get the idea! I post new pieces daily and they are available for immediate sale, at a few galleries and at vintage and art shows! I also love working with you and your heirlooms to make beautiful pieces unique t you and your memories.

I’m almost completely ready prepping jewelry for my first few art fairs- (Birmingham Art Walk and Finster Fest up first! My schedule is pinned if you missed it!)

I was just missing fresh variations of my Social Butterflies! Vintage book pages and old photos, sculpted in epoxy resin and engineered to flutter around the neckline- these literally fly out of my booth. Pun intended.
I came up with this sculpting technique during that time which must not be named. And these hot Alabama days are perfect for implementing it.

I was asked about making a Dolly Parton design- and if you swipe to necklace D- I painted colorful bright butterflies in Dolly’s honor- since she loved butterflies and never lived her life in neutral!
Let me know what you think!

The large layered pieces are $150- and the fluttering pulley pendants at the end are $75- if you need one sent your way just let me know!

“I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.”
William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

It’s wild how intensely driven I get working on these metal banner pieces. They are a slog of detail and repetition- mark, punch, work through the clock chain link row after row- and the words become this mantra burning over and over.
But the satisfaction of attaching that last row? Ah. It’s so good.
I shortened this one a few lines. And I ran out of T’s so I made my own (folkies can do what we want. No rules)
Working on another huge penny pennant at the moment-

But what quote should I work on next? Leave suggestions below!

My fall art fair schedule! Feel free to message me any questions!
Applying in two mediums is wild- so are the acceptances!
I think the biggest shell shock will be Pensacola- where I’ve shown jewelry five times and won an Award of Distinction one year! But this year- only sculpture accepted! (Which I’m delighted to be bringing-but jewelry patrons- I’m so sorry!).

I’ve learned a lot through this process- and I’m still experimenting and growing- I know I’ll continue to build on the momentum of working hard on my art every day- I dream of always showing both bodies together- because the second doesn’t exist without the first.
All self taught- all trial and error- the imagination is a beautiful place to live. I’ll figure it out.

Hope to see you on the road this fall- and don’t worry- I’ll be going farther afield again one year soon (hi Houston- Louisville and others I miss you- I’ve needed to stay tight and mother xo)

Fresh story release- some revisits/ some makeovers/ (when I’m in show prep mode sometimes I give pieces glow ups). Details are on photos! Just message me if you need one or five! 🤗 I can invoice and ship tomorrow!

I’ve been asked a few times for Dolly -esque pieces- I’ve been rolling that around in my head. I’ve been working on fresh social butterflies- and Dolly loved butterflies- I may make a Dolly edition. Stay tuned.

In the meantime hold tight to your favorite cultural icons!

Bringing back my Free Love pendants for fall 2026-
The story goes like this:
These little iron hearts are pieces from antique broken door mats- you know how people just stomp on our hearts and wipe their feet on them and we just keep loving anyways? And the tokens were old amusement tokens- that say NO CASH VALUE. Because you can’t buy love - you have to give it away for free.

The Folk Hearts are new! I found these wonderful rustic buckles in Santa Fe and knew I needed to do something special with them- when I was playing around creating tassels from thimbles this summer I knew exactly what I wanted to pair them with. The end results are cobbled together and very Found- even the chain I dug out paired so beautifully. I love the wonkiness. These will not hang straight- but love isn’t linear is it?

Pendants as promised- Free Love has been one of my most popular pendants for years. Both styles are $40- plus $8 to ship. They are also great gifts if you are thinking ahead towards the holidays- let me know if you need one or more!

for the ones who love bravely despite everything.
🤍-Kerry

As promised- fresh Stories release!
Let me know if you need one to add to your collection- I just need your email address to invoice and will pack them up and mail tomorrow morning!
Details are on photos- shipping is $8! Combined if you purchase more than one!

I feel like creating wearable stories is something I could do in my sleep now (sometimes I do dream I’m making new work- it’s actually very helpful) This week was back to school - and it also functioned as therapy. All the new directions- which also explains all the compasses- definitely on my mind!

Haint blue and bottle trees- dispersing and trapping the ghosts that haunt us. Map pins pin pointing the way to the places the morning sun needs to burn away.
The memory is a home.

Exploring new materials and seeing where I could go with them.
The imagination is a wonderful place- and wandering where it lead, brought me to a better story than the one I began with.

In other news- my fall art fair schedule is finalized- I’ll release it soon- two of the shows I’ll have two mediums- one just jewelry- and two just sculpture! ☀️
Talk about wandering where things lead!

A really fun collection of one of one jewelry stories releasing Sunday afternoon- 4:30 central!
Collectors will definitely want to see these!

I also created some small versions of these hainted homes with the cutest tiny bottle trees- but they are still in the process of exploration.
Not quite done.

Thanks for being here for the journey. Always grateful!

Last installment of Jewelry You May Have Missed!
All these pieces are Last Ofs in series or things that haven’t seen the light in a while because I’m always excited about my new work!
Titles and prices are on pics- shipping is $8- and I just need your email address to invoice! Via post or message me!
Bracelets are old old- they are $40- for 5-8 inch wrist but I’m happy to customize!

I’ve been up to my neck in a new sculpture series I will share soon! I’m very happy so far.
But good news- digging in the jewelry makes my brain crave to make it- so I’ll hopefully make NEW neck stories this week.

I don’t know what to tell you other than the brain doesn’t stop- curiosity is a drug….

Y’all I was having so much fun playing with a New To Me sculpting medium I totally forgot I promised to have a fresh release!

Details are on the pictures- message me if you need to add a piece to your collection!

A few notes: currently obsessed with this amazing exotic dancer from a 1950s magazine- she is fresh out of you know what’s- and has already made appearances in my sculptures as well. Also I created the tassels using thimbles and ball chain- it has the best shimmy of any tassel I’ve made yet!

Ransom Notes- fresh batch! These were requested- every artist needs one! I love the tongue in cheek aspect of the focals I use - but if they aren’t up your alley- I can offer you a brass locket- or no focal- buyers choice!

The celluloid race horses are a recent find and they have my HEART! (If they don’t sell I’m keeping one)

Be specific when you message- and I just need your email address to invoice!

Exciting new sculpture experiments ahead in the studio! Can’t wait to share what I’m up to!
