| Introduction | Kristy Morgan is the artist and designer behind Ruby & Prankstar. Drawing on the mythical forces of nature and earthly elements she forges metals, cradles precious stones and sculpts leathers to create jewellery, accessories, garments, wearable art and ornamental pieces. Kristy’s first love and primary medium is leather. She manipulates leathers, furs and skins, re-forming, hand dying and texturing each piece. Kristy draws on traditional metal-smithing techniques, molding organic objects and animal bones in various metals. Captivated by the rawness of rough uncut stones and crystal clusters, she often selects stones and designs the pieces to enhance and cradle their natural form. |
