AMiRA 

jewelry

I'm honored to be working with Shanley Knox, CEO and founder of NAKATE, a Brooklyn-based company that provides unique designs from Ugandan artisans to fashion conscious women. NAKATE uses the creation of their pieces as an opportunity to establish relationships connecting Ugandan professionals and artisans with marginalized women in rural villages – using African talent to nourish African growth and development.

We have teamed up to create an exclusive Mother's Day gift in a variety of colors using macrame techniques, metalwork, and handmade paper beads crafted by female artists in Uganda.  

I love the union of two cultures being expressed here, the Argentine traditions of macrame and the African recycled paper beads.  In fact, this project represents even more with AMiRA jewelry working out of Portland Oregon and NAKATE running operations out of Brooklyn New York, we have brought together coasts and countries to support women everywhere!!!

New Projects + Talent + Working Together

I recently had the wonderful experience of working with the very talented photographer, Alyson Levy, who I met while she was shooting the wedding of my dear friends.  Alyson is fun to work with and has a picky eye, which means she takes excellent photographs and only settles for the very best.  We first worked together to capture some of my new line, which is now for sale at the lovely Presents of Mind in Portland, Oregon, and will be featured on BRIKA, a website space where the art of storytelling meets the thrill of the find and a shopper may find handcrafted quality goods made by independent artists.  Many of the new pieces are also for sale on my website: www.amiramednick.com.

Our next project together was capturing the maker of the art, me!  I don't know if you have ever had your photograph taken professionally, but it can make one feel vulnerable and awkward.  Thankfully, Alyson is so great at making the subject feel comfortable and have fun.  I was thrilled with the entire experience and with the results!
