The Plot Thickens!

Now Showing Studio started one autumn afternoon when Alex Drummer and Melanie Brooks were window shopping at a nearby video store that was going out of business. Instead of browsing the isles of discounted videos or games, they set their sights on the large display of plastic and cardboard backer boards from the rental displays. They knew immediately that they hit a crafty motherlode! A couple of days of dreaming and brainstorming later, they had a new idea for a jewelry line made from recycling the backer boards in fun and innovative ways! Now Showing Studio was born!

The jewelry that we will be offering soon is hand crafted by Alex and Melanie, with the occasional help of studio and shipping assistants. They pay great attention to craftsmanship and detail, and design with an eye towards color and pattern. They love using the backer boards for their bright colors and detail, and enjoy the lightweight nature of the jewelry. They also love being able to recycle (or "upcycle") materials that may have been destined for a landfill. The pieces are created in a fun atmosphere, during long afternoon chats about creativity, art, and film.

We are working hard behind the scenes on this new jewelry line, and we hope to have some pieces to offer very soon in the Now Showing Studio etsy shop.
