The Spark // Filigree Lighter Wallet
"A spark neglected makes a mighty fire.” — Robert Herrick
A study in modern relics. This piece reimagines a classic, utilitarian object—the flip-top lighter—and wraps it in the ornate, sweeping filigree of a traditional illuminated manuscript. The design captures the exact, volatile moment the flint catches, sending a ribbon of gold and white smoke dancing across the dark. It is an artifact dedicated to the small, quiet sparks—ideas, changes, and rebellion—that eventually burn bright enough to change everything.
A pre-loved black leather folding card wallet resurrected at the studio workbench. The artwork is permanently hand-tattooed straight into the smooth grain using a traditional machine, pairing crisp white detail work with a rich, luminous gold flame.
