Leslie Jones Jewelry In-Person
If you appreciate antique jewelry with a contemporary twist, be sure to check out Leslie Jones’ bead-embroidered designs at the Southwest Harbor Public Library from October 31, 2024 to January 4, 2025. Ellsworth resident and long-time Mount Desert Islander Jones will have her one-of-a-kind jewelry on display and for sale. Her pieces showcase large stones, sea glass, and recycled antique elements, blending past and present in unique ways that evoke an elegant vintage charm. Jones’ museum quality creations make unique hand-made gifts for the upcoming holidays. A portion of the proceeds benefits the library.
For bead embroidery artist Jones, the journey begins with a needle, thread, and seed beads. From this foundation, she incorporates a variety of materials such as stones, vintage glass, metals, and vibrant colors. A self-taught designer, she started her creative journey with simple stringing as a child and has since evolved to intricate designs, often utilizing hundreds of individual beads in pieces that can take up to a month to finish.
Jones’ work has been featured in Maine The Magazine, and Art Jewelry magazine. In the rare moments she is not obsessively beading Jones can be found spending time with her dogs.
