Local artist, Deborah Jassem at AFL


 
A Fine Line is proud to introduce Kumihimo-style Jewelry that is designed and hand-crafted by local artist, Deborah Jassem,

You are invited to attend an exclusive 5-day trunk show, Tuesday, May 1st - Saturday, May 5th. And, Just in time for Mother's Day, we are offering a SHOW SPECIAL of 20% OFF on her work during this event only.

We will be open late on Thursday evening , May 3rd with a special Artist's Cocktail Reception from 4-7pm. Please plan to join us to welcome this talented lady.

You will also have an opportunity to meet Deborah on Saturday, May 5th from 10am-2pm. She'll be answering questions about her work and demonstrating the ancient Japanese art of braiding that she uses in these masterpieces.



 Kumihimo - the Japanese art of braiding with cords is believed to have began around 550 A.D. for decorative use in Buddhist religious ceremonies. In the 21st century beads started being incorporated. Deborah's pieces are designed and hand-crafted using a variety of beads and embellishments and woven with materials including satin, leather and silk. Most of the beads are handcrafted in the USA by highly skilled glassblowers using only the finest borosilicate glass that is worked and kiln annealed at a much higher temperatures than ordinary glass, producing a stronger, more durable bead and richer natural colors.





The Artist, Deborah Jassem, has made Tucson her home since 1998. Originally from Hartford, Connecticut she has worked in the non-profit sector as a development professional for over 25 years. She is currently the Director of Philanthropy for Tohono Chul Park.


Please share this with your friends.  The more the merrier!  We look forward to seeing you in the store anytime this week during the trunk show.

See you soon!

Peep Toe Flats with changable snaps have arrived!

The new spring collection from Lindsey Phillips is here!  They are STUNNING and COMFORTABLE, FUN and FLIRTY!



Available in Black Patent, White Gold or Coral these designs are my favorite yet!  I unpacked the shipment yesterday and promptly put on a Black pair to check out the comfort.  They did not disappoint.

We have a nice selection of colors, sizes and extra embellishments for you to choose from.  However, we have many customers that have anxiously been awaiting their arrival, so they will sell quickly.  Don't wait too long to come in for a pair.

We also have darling cover-ups in coordinating colors that are perfect for the beach or layering  with shorts and a tank top.

During our Spring Shopping Event we will have the discontinued styles available in select sizes at 50% off in our Parisian-Style Flea Market area.

See you soon!

An Exquisite New Collection of Jewelry has arrived!

An exciting new collection of jewelry has arrived at AFL and it is EXQUISITE!  Well worth the wait and here just in time for our Spring Shopping Event.


I discovered these designs in January during my buying trip in Atlanta and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new collection!  They took some time to get here because they are handcrafted in Northern California with hand-pressed glass intaglios made in a small Bavarian village, using original steel molds and techniques unchanged from the 1800s!

Their designs have been featured in Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and Lucky Magazines. They are available in some of the finest stores around the world, including Harrods, and in Fine Art Museums in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia.





I'm offering the collection at special INTRODUCTORY PRICING.  Come in soon to see our beautiful display.  These are wonderful, stunning gifts for Mother's Day, anniversaries, weddings - any special occasion!

Please note:  Because our collection is limited we are unable to hold any items and because each piece is individually handcrafted we cannot take special orders.  Thank you for your understanding.

Happy Springtime!
