CrowBooty was born in 2008 when Diane Farnsworth returned to designing jewelry after a long hiatus. Since then partner, (web designer, composer), Carl Craig has joined Diane in crafting resin pieces and making molds, as well as adding vintage leather into the more current CB designs.
Diane has worked with silver, copper, brass, gold, enamel, resin, and beads, incorporating various methods and techniques into her work. In 2010 her ‘Poetry Jewelry’ line was a collaboration between her son, musician, Adam Farnsworth with lyrics from his songs stamped into silver, copper and brass cuffs, earrings and pendants which were sold in numerous shops around Vancouver.
Diane considers herself an interdisciplinary artist, as she works with video and paint as well as with metals, resin and crystals.
In 2015 Diane collaborated with Katherine Soucie, creating a new line of resin jewelry with Sans Soucie fabric, which was seen on the Fall runway with Sans Soucie clothing in London, England in 2015. This collection was also in the Motainai Collective Exhibit in North Carolina in June – July and Atlanta, Georgia in October 2016. Carl has also contributed his leather crafting in the making of resin-fabric-leather belts in this Soucie & Farnsworth line.
When Diane doesn’t work as an artist, she works as an expressive arts therapist. Her designs reflects the rich life she has lived, as actor, writer, director, painter, dancer, expressive arts therapist, and teacher.
