ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Silver plate silverware, what do you do with it? Having family in Alabama, this Texan girl appreciated meals using these lovely pieces. How can others enjoy this masterpiece of history? Well, I decided to repurpose it, wear it, instead of store it, or worse, give it away! Hello, I am a wife, mother, and a (Texas Tech) Red Raider of Interior Design. Loving the beauty of each piece
of silverware, I transform it (with my awesome husband) into creations that are wearable art, or jewelry. Sometimes, the silver patterns are too unique to chop on, and they become hand stamped (with a hammer) and left for whimsical serve ware. Each piece becomes special, and I love deciding what will make it shine at its best. The hunt for such beauties is half the fun! My pieces come from all over! Some are perfect, and some show the road they have traveled with their rough character. Anyway, enjoy your finds with me, the Gift Guru. I aim to give you the perfect gift to give to those you love. And, yes, I can make your grandma’s pieces into gifts for your family…
The Silver Artist,
Leigh Baxter
