could this be a new shtick?

I have recently had several people ask me to do bridal jewelry for them. This could be interesting--An opportunity to experiment with different materials and new designs. I picked up some sterling silver chain and some fantastic clear glass beads. I'm forcing myself to keep it simple. My first instinct is to try to use everything all at once. (I have a tendency to get over excited when I have a new project and new materials-who wouldn't right?) I think Ive gone to the extreme and they are too simplistic. So, I'll keep working to find the perfect balance. I'm loving the look of the rough brass with the vintage Japanese glass drops. Now I just need to work in that sterling silver some how.

Spring has arrived...

Actually, it came a few weeks ago, but I wasn't ready quite yet with new designs for the season. There is nothing more motivating than Spring-except for a trip to NYC! I just got back from a visit with friends and while I was there I had the opportunity to hit up a few favorite shops of mine to get some new supplies---lots of inspiration! I was really drawn to the larger stones, each one is its own piece of jewelry. Really going to have to pace myself and not use them all up at once.
