Friday Favorite: Lisa York

This Friday's Feature artist is Lisa York of Fugudesigns!

Lisa works out of her Chicago studio and creates amazing photo and acid etched bracelets using vintage maps as inspiration! Some of the maps she incorporates into her art are more than 100 years old!

Lisa started studying metalsmithing a few years ago and fell in love with the process from the first class.
