Sometimes, even as adults, we can have such child-like thoughts that we are careful to suppress them and not tell anyone. I’m probably going to embarrass myself, but I feel like sharing one of my more recent oddball thoughts that was “inspired” by the piece in the middle photo: Waterfall, by Wendy Emerson.
I was photographing in the studio one day when, twice, I came across a piece with just the right combination of color, texture, and shine that I was captivated by it, much like a baby becomes who sees something shiny … and longs to stick it in his mouth.
They looked so elegant, and yet so…juicy. That’s right, I said juicy, and my mouth watered as if the beads were candy.
I’d like to take this moment to assure you that I have NEVER put any of our jewelry submission’s into my mouth. I will go even further and promise you that I will never suck, chew, or crunch any of your submissions in the future.
The point of this story is merely to illustrate that I have now learned that the phrase “mouthwatering jewelry” can, in fact, be a literal description.
Bright spring colors are all around us – blossoming trees, blooming flowers and new grass. You’re sure to see beautiful combinations of colors everywhere you look. Use that color inspiration in your next jewelry piece, like these lovelies from Etsy artists.
