Occasionally I come across things that just blow my mind.  As a jewelry designer, I enjoy pushing my limits and creating beautiful pieces of artwork out of a simple pile of components; so I love when I come in contact with a fellow designer that does the same.

Jen Livingston of Exaltation and Etsy shop based in Charlottesville, VA is an expert at manipulating wire into fantastic pieces of artwork.  I gave her a challenge and asked her to create The Great State of Texas and I was pleasantly surprised at the image she emailed me.

Look at the beautiful handcrafted detail!  I love it!

I really want this!

You guys know I keep Pop Goes The City focused on Dallas and Collin counties but anytime I find something truly amazing or that gives a nod to my state, it will be here.

Check out Exaltation.  Convo her, she may just create your state too.
