Again this is a main point of working with paper: how it transforms the qualities of light and how it actually changes when the light changes (remember the blog article about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/?p=2329\" target=\"blank\">origami lampshades by <strong>Studio Snowpuppe<\/strong><\/a> &#8211;  it was also a main concern there). Even though Tia&#8217;s first jewelry objects were basically by-products of her larger commission she stays true to herself and still treats them like little sculptures: <a href=\"http:\/\/tiakramerjewelry.com\/news.html\" target=\"blank\">&#8220;Inspired by our relationships to the natural and architectural environment, I create jewelry objects that make visible our interactions with structure and movement. My adornments are performative sculptures for one\u2019s ears, architecture for the body.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_production.jpg\" alt=\"Tia_Kramer_production\" title=\"Tia_Kramer_production\" width=\"480\" height=\"302\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_production.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_production-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_Necklaces.jpg\" alt=\"Tia_Kramer_Necklaces\" title=\"Tia_Kramer_Necklaces\" width=\"480\" height=\"238\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_Necklaces.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_Kramer_Necklaces-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_kramer_earrings.png\" alt=\"Tia Kramer: Earrings\" title=\"Tia Kramer: Earrings\" width=\"480\" height=\"236\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_kramer_earrings.png 480w, https:\/\/www.paperphine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tia_kramer_earrings-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Looking behind the scenes with tools and supplies ready at hand to create a big variety of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and more<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">There is a lot to discover on <a href=\"http:\/\/tiakramerjewelry.com\/\" target=\"blank\"><strong>Tia&#8217;s website<\/strong><\/a> and the range of colors her pieces come in is amazing.
