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.

Organikx

I just came across some fantastic sterling silver jewelry on Etsy. Organikx is the name of the shop, and the pieces are made by Bridget Fauser. She has a very eclectic shop of hand forged silver, high polished silver, a mix of sterling and gold, and my absolute favorites are the large intricate natural stones she uses with the metal. Her stone choices are amazing!!!

I am a huge sucker for interesting large natural stones showcased in silver that has been a little distressed and oxidized. Seeing her work makes me want to get back into the studio behind a torch working with sterling silver again.
