Designer Pam Goodman at the wild west show!

The Legendary Hitchhikers look forward to seeing the collection from artist Pam Goodman at our next show.  Pam is a Denver native of 63 years and an amazing designer.  For her, jewelry making started by accident when she went to Ornamental Beads to find materials for restringing an old jade necklace.

 

PG-Turq-yellowstonenecklace

 

“That’s when I fell in love with the variety and creative potential of all the many stones.  It’s exciting and so pleasurable to be able to create beautiful objects and I feel lucky to have discovered this skill.”

She just likes stones; their various colors, inherent designs, shapes, and textures.  Pam enjoys wearing, gifting, and selling pieces that are parts of our earth.  In fact, many stones appear themselves to be miniature planets.  She says there’s also a meditative quality in touching stone beads and making jewelry.   She loves showing new people what she has made.

 

PG-TurquoiseNecklace

 

She especially likes like designing earrings and necklaces with copper and silver.  The chains for the necklaces are made with liquid silver beads and are very light.   The stones are turquoise and amber, and white druzzy stones.  Pam’s free-form stones have a special feel – a rough, earthen look.  Please come see more of the collection on April 11th!
