Verso Studio
My name is Melanie Brauner. I'm a hand papermaker, metalsmith, artist, fiddler, and pianist. I live in a 1920s cottage in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My jewelry line, Verso, is made from my own handmade paper, metal, dyes, and resin. I collect inspiration from nature to make my art and jewelry, I play traditional music, I collect antiques & vintage clothes, and I grow vegetables & flowers in my garden. Welcome to my little world!
From Garden Leaves, to Paper, to Handmade Journals
Let's talk about FAILING. In front of an audience. (It doesn't have to be a bad thing.)
