The Lulu Lab

Yesterday I visited my friend Lisa Salzer at her Lulu Frost headquarters. I am always struck by the sheer amount of stuff in her studio. You want to dive into all the luscious materials and tools and play for hours. I would like to share with you the brilliance behind the beauty. The madness. The piles. Drawers of gems, rolls of ribbon, the sheer talent of gently marrying concepts together in a seamless way “so Lulu Frost”, all while the Beastie Boys play softly in the background. This is the soul of Lulu Frost from which all beautiful, sublime, handmade jewelry is created.
