Allison Fomich of Tigerlillyshop Jewelry, creates unique mixed metal pieces from nature specimens collected from her surrounding urban environment. Using traditional metalsmithing techniques she imprints botanical specimens into copper, brass, and sterling silver creating fossil-like impressions. Her cast nature jewelry line consists of small organic objects which include special tiny acorns, twigs, shark teeth and tiny shells in both bronze and sterling silver. Her jewelry is for sale during open studio hours, small boutiques regionally, and online for retail and wholesale. The lines continues to evolve and has had enduring appeal since 2005.
