Kristin Holeman Cloisonné Jewelry 2011 Pensacola Arts Festival

One of the prize winners at the 2011 Pensacola Museum of Art's, Art in the Park, Arts Festival was Kristin Holeman. She creates some of the best quality and well designed jewelry that I have seen in a while. She has a quirky, whimsical take on jewelry that makes her work truly one of a kind. One has to admire her jewels for the shear amount of work that she puts into each piece. Unfortunately there is not much online information about her and her jewelry. She has a website Kristin Holeman Cloisonné, but it is a bit lax on information and images of her spectacular pieces. Here are a few images that she has supplied and a couple that I have taken myself.
