Meg Hannan’s vivid, intricately detailed fiber millefiori slices are durable gems used in lively lightweight earrings, pins and pendants. She uses a variety of fabrics, including recycled fabrics embellished with luscious beadwork that adds motion and textural depth. The sliced fabric is almost weightless, so wearing the artwork is a pleasure! The Seattle-based artist began producing her fiber millefiori in 1985. Her use of hand dyed fabrics and cords gives the her work with a lively glow. Individual pieces are slightly different from one another, making each item a unique work of art.  I'm a painter at heart, and in creating this jewelry I am also making little paintings. Color is the juice. When I dye some of the fabrics and cords, I don't fully rinse them, allowing the dye to runoff onto the other fabrics they're used with. I use these essential dyed elements sparingly, as they can overtake and darken a whole roll. When it goes just right, there's a watercolor glow.
