ARTmonday: Amy Shutt Shoots the Birds for Digby & Iona

Aaron Ruff, the jeweler behind the Brooklyn-based label Digby & Iona (named for a pair of quiet seaside towns in Nova Scotia), commissioned Baton Rouge-based photographer Amy Shutt to capture his newest designs—on a taxidermy menagerie. The photos are quirky (and quacky); I love ’em. And the Digby & Iona jewelry too.
