Art @ Ella's: Laine Perry

Laine Perry is a painter, photographer and writer in Portland, Oregon. A selection of her current body of work, called "BirdSong", will be displayed at Ella's Boutique through July.

"I have been making art all of my life. I am a curious observer of the fascinating world we live in. My interpretation of strong, life affirming moments is reflected in this body of work, which I call BirdSong."

Figs & Ginger: Beautiful, handmade & cute!

Something about birds on branches, deers resting by trees and the simple shape of a circle, all combined within immaculately hand-crafted jewelry, delights us! Figs & Ginger is composed of all of that, and more.


Imaginary and real elements of forest life and hills find their way into this unique, stunning and earth-friendly jewelry hand-crafted by Elijah and Rhona Wyman of Asheville, NC. Cute silhouettes of deer, trees, rabbits and birds are recurring themes, often contained on a branch or within a circle. Figs & Ginger strives to create jewelry that is as versatile and pretty as it is low impact and effortless, using the highest grade of recycled sterling silver. With a brushed and blackened patina, their pieces go, quite wonderfully, with a wide variety of outfits, from elegant to every-day casual.

Rhonda and Elijah got their start in retail and crafts together in 2003 in the "indie-craft scene", Rhonda graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and the two were married in 2004. In 2006, Figs & Ginger was officially named and sales began. The couple have been happily silver-smithing jewelry, creating art and music since, alongside their cat Puppy and their dog Crashdog.
