Introducing Debra Tufford! God's World Photography
Thursday, November 19th, 2009For most photographers, taking a beautiful image is the accomplishment of their art. Debra sees things a little differently and it surely makes her work unique. Her art is also an inspirational message. She finds a beautiful spot in nature, takes her shot and then she finds the perfect quotation to hand calligraphy on the matte. Saying that makes it sound easy and anyone who has ever tried to snap a photo knows there is much more to photography than that. To combine the photography with the perfect inspirational quote and then to hand calligraphy that message on the matte makes her work unique and very special.
'Consider The Lillies'
Her photo with it’s inspirational matte is framed in a georgeous custom made hardwood frame, courtesyof her husband. These frames are beautifully put together. Got to love a man with skills!
'Living Water'
Come see more of Debra’s beautiful work in our shop at the Factory at Franklin, TN

Adornments Creates Jewelry for Adoption Benefit!
Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Adornments recently donated custom jewelry created with adoption in mind for auction at An Orphan’s Ticket Home adoption benefit. All proceeds from the auction went towards helping families with the costs of adopting overseas orphans.
It was a lovely event coordinated by Courtney Hammons from “A Magical Affair” with live music by Sparrow Recording Artist, Britt Nicole, and guest speaker and author of Fields of the Fatherless and Red Letters, Tom Davis.
Adornments donated two original pieces for this benefit:
A pendant entitled “Family” featuring a Copper and Silver parent figures embracing a 14k yellow gold child figure adorned with a ruby as well as a blue handbag entitled “It Takes A Village…” featuring Copper and Brass adult figures celebrating the first steps of a Silver child.
Here are some in progress shots of the pendant!
We started with a concept drawing. The red indicates the various layers of metal we plan to use.
First step after drawing is cutting out the metal layers.
Silver & copper layers ready to be cut.
This is what the pieces look like just after sawing them out.. Are you scared yet??
After the pieces are all cut out, we domed them slightly and then set them up to be soldered together.
Yikes! Fire!!
This is the pendant just after soldering all the pieces together (well, ok, we cleaned it up a bit with sandpaper too). Ready to be polished!
Soldered "Family" pendant
Haha! Safety first!! I love what that mask does to my ear!
Suiting up to polish!
Polishing!
And, finally! The finished piece!
"Family"
We were honored to be asked to participate in this event and had a great time at the Gala! For more information on an Orphan’s Ticket Home and how to get involved with this program, please visit http://www.orphanstickethome.org/. And on a final note, we leave you with this… love it when they have photo booths at events!

Fun at the Franklin Bridal Ball
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago Adornments participated in the yearly Franklin Bridal Ball, held right here in the Factory at Franklin!
It was a pretty busy day- but we had a great time meeting with local brides and their families!
- Our booth at the Franklin Bridal Ball
Nashville area brides were out in force to check out the local wedding vendors and get ideas, and Adornments excels at unique ideas for those special finishing touches (if I do say so myself!). We had a great variety of hand made jewelry and invitations on display. As always brides are encouraged to discuss their ideas with us and work with our designers to create something unique just for them!
Sample papers on display for inspiration in designing your own invitation!
Toward the end of the evening the Bridal Ball put on a fashion show featuring our favorite local designer, Olia Zavozina and you know we had to get our jewelry on the catwalk too!! Handily enough, our booth was right next to Olia’s too.
- Alexis, Laura, Olia, and Lucinda
Laura and Lucinda are both sporting custom fashion designs by Olia and doubled as models for the fashion show!! Need I mention the amazing jewelry we’re wearing? Check it out!!
Here are some shots from the fashion show.. why do models always look so cranky??

And because we can never take anything very seriously… our very own models striking poses:

At the end of the evening we raffled off a pair of hand made earrings (who doesn’t love free stuff?!).
Earring Raffle
Don’t forget- Adornments offered some great discounts to Bridal Ball attendees! So come visit us and let us design something special just for you!!
