Pretty Things Spotlight: Heartworks by Lori

Update: The winner of Heartwork by Lori's art pendant "This Bird Has Flown" is PRETTY FUN! Congratulations! Thanks to all of you who entered.

(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸ * ◦ *¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)○◦○ ◦


Lori Patton, the creatrix of Heartworks By Lori, is inspired and moved by art and the world around us.

It has stirred such a child-like feeling of wonder and amazement in her that she is drawn to create timeless treasures incorporating the two.

Turned off by the exploitative prices charged by many high-end boutiques, Lori she set out to craft vintage-inspired jewelry made in brass and pewter that everyone could afford.

Her art has transgressed over the years and she has been able to also incorporate the work of some of her favourite artists in her jewelry as well. Talented artists such as Lori's brother Brad Weinman or photographer Irene Suchocki help to incorporate "little poems for the eyes" into each handcrafted piece.


"My goal is that you would enjoy ...my jewelry...knowing that the hand that
moved it from raw material into art holds no greater joy than knowing I have moved you as well."


Shown in the body of this feature are new lockets in the works by Lori, which are soon to appear in her shop. Incorporating art such as "Lady with an Ermine" evokes a fondness for the luxury of the past while the "Lotus Love Locket" mixes modernity and vintage so playfully.





Tell us a bit about You…
My name is Lori and I'm 30-something (we'll leave it at that). I'm a true Valley girl,
born and raised, but I currently reside in Culver City (a suburb of Los Angeles, CA). I'm the wife of an amazing man and mommy to 3 quirky and wonderful little superhero boys, Josiah-6, Tommy-4 & Jude-2. I've always been a crafty girl, even in Kindergarten, where Arts & Crafts was by far my favorite subject...still is. In Jr. High School, when all of my girlfriends were learning how to bake like Betty Crocker, I was enrolled in Plastics, Metal & Woodshop classes where I learned to make cool Pacman pencil holders and colorful paperweights. Art has always been a huge part of my family and with my brother as an accomplished illustrator, my uncle as an artist, my grandmother as a composer and artist, and my aunt as an artist. I guess you can say that it was inevitable that I would carry that gene as well. My hands are the avenue through which I express myself and my heart guides me the entire way. I always need to be creating something or else I'd go crazy!

What inspires you?
Ultimately, truth and beauty inspire me. Life and art move me and evoke a special passion and emotion within me that spurs me to create. I'm also inspired by the awesome colors and patterns of flowers and cloudy skies, or a breathtaking sunset and they make me want to capture the beauty in some way by creating "little poems for the eyes" as Irene Suchocki likes to say (she's one of my fabulous collaboration partners). I'm drawn to all things feminine, magical, hauntingly beautiful, deep & precious as well as those things that draw me deeper into the pursuit of the profound...those things that are too wonderful for words. When I create a "piece of heart" for my collection, my sole intention is always to craft something so unique and so emotionally evocative that each person who wears my jewelry would immediately catch my aesthetic vision and make it her own. A little piece of me goes with each piece I make.


What has been your most memorable moment selling your art?
My most m
emorable moment selling my art jewelry was when I had the awesome opportunity earlier this year to create a custom collection for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The collection featured art images from the exhibition, "El Greco to Velasquez", comprising Spanish art during the 1600's, set into antique brass frames. Because of the exposure from that commission, I'm currently working on another museum order where I'll create art jewelry featuring the famous art images from Monet, Modigliani and other well-loved paintings from the Master painters. Memorable is such an understatement!

Any advice for fellow artists...
Do what you love and love what you do. If you're in it for
the money, then money will never ultimately satisfy you. True success is creating for the sheer joy of expressing your passion and bringing pleasure and happiness to others from your work. If financial blessing comes from it, then that's just icing on the cake!

If you could be any character whom would it be and why?
I relate to Elastigirl from the movie "The Incredibles" [one of my favorite movies!]. She is very flexible, but at times stretched very thin. In emergencies, she's able to perform incredible displays of courage and strength, all the while remaining calm, practical and keeping her great sense of humor. When confronted with a momentary obstacle, she extends herself [literally] and saves the day and is never bent out of shape, but recoils right back to her normal state. She loves her hubby and kiddos in spite of hard times and as she ages, she diggs her husband even more. Elastigirl is my kind of gal!


Tell us your future plans for your business...
I'm thrilled with the opportunities to work with museums by creating custom art jewelry collections for them and I plan on continuing in that direction as well as having my
jewelry in more boutiques around the world. I'm honored to work with such amazing artists and photographers and I look forward to expanding my art jewelry collections as my collaborators add new stunning images to our line.

(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸ * ◦ *¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)

My favorite piece is the Rock n' Roll Wedding Pendant. I love it because not only does it have this antique feel about it, like you just found a gem in Grandmother's jewelry box but also because it seems to depict the merging of two great loves. As my significant other plays guitar it symbolizes the passion invoked by love of music and the love of a person. Amazing. Excellent designs all around, thank you for sharing your art.

I love the "you begin to feel alone" pendant. It's so beautiful! It was hard to chose just one though i see myself being a regular on your sight and I'll let my husband know about it as well for all my gift receiving needs :-) You begin to feel alone impacted me the most because there was a tree just like that one in one of the pastures at my parents' house where I grew up. It made me miss home a little.

The bee pendant as I grew up in medina, Ohio, "the sweetest little town on earth" according to the blurb for the honey festival that used to happen each year. It was the home of the A.I. Root company who also wrote the 'bible' for bee keeping...even known here in Australia where I live now. The pendant reminds me of honey ice cream in the park on the square and those funny little wiggly eyed bees made of pipe cleaners.all jewellry should leave you with a memory as you wear it...Karen

Acornbud said...

It's a toss up for me between Penny Farthing and This Bird has Flown. My first choice was Penny Farthing so I'll choose it. It speaks to me of life's contrasts-simplicity/complexity, responsibility/frivolity, reality/dreams.
All the frames are so beautiful.

My favorite right now is Susan-Art Pendant-A la Carte.

I imagine it hanging in the middle of my chest like a beautiful glowing heart... In India the center of the chest is where the true "heart" is felt. The "heart of hearts". When you love, you can feel warmth emanating from that very center.

And it's because I get such a strong feeling of Peace, Grace and Abundant Blessings being offered from the woman in the image.

joannaonthelake said...

I really had to take a lot of time to absorb all of the stunning pieces of art at Lori's Etsy shop. It was hard to narrow it down to which piece is my favorite. I did however, go with the piece that visually spoke to me and it is the Contact- Art Pendant Necklace, that Lori collaborated with photographer Irene Suchocki. The image Irene took speaks volumes to me. I would want to wear this because it represents innocence, a feeling of contentment and serenity. A carefree person who is getting in touch with nature. I would love to know if this was the vision Irene had in mind when she took it. Lori's jewelry is truly little works of art that can be heirloom quality and meant to be passed down from generation to generation.

I like the Waiting for Daydreams Adorned- Art Necklace, it looks like a Mucha girl (I really love art nouveau) and the necklace itself looks so vintage. All of it is very pretty, though!

It was really, really difficult to pick my favorite, as there are so many beautiful items. So, I *think* my favorite is the Lotus Love Art Locket Necklace. I love butterflies and lotus'. The locket you put the image in is also stunning. Gorgeous piece all around.
