Little Details, Little Moments......

If you know my work a little, you will know that I like lots of lovely details.

I like swirls and twists........


I like colour, texture, pearls, and patterns.............



I also like the little moments in life.........

I like the little glances, the small kisses, the fluttering feelings.

I like getting distracted while walking down the street by the deep fuchsia colour of a blooming peony.

I like the heady scent of the freshly watered marigolds that stops me in my tracks and keeps me from getting where I'm going on time.

I like to stop to pet the purring cat on the sidewalk.

I like to take a break from my run to watch 12 baby Canadian geese fall all over each other.

I take comfort in the little details and the little moments.

I have a lot of change going on in my life right now. Good change, great change, exciting change, change that scares the bejeezus out of me. So for my Week 7 ring a week I went back to what is comforting for me. This ring has lots of lovely little details. A silver ring shank that is hammer textured. I've added 24k yellow gold bits to the ring shank. Set in the tubing is a little pink felt "petal" and then stemming from the petal is silver wire dotted with pretty pink pearls.

Pretty Things.....

In January I get to look at pretty things. I have time to catch up on fashion shows, read magazines, and start pinning up all of the pretty things that will inspire me to design for the next year.
Here are some of the oh so prettiest.......

Marchesa Spring 2011 Ready to Wear - amazing and sculptural...they are so incredible that I sort of forget to keep breathing when I look at them. If I had one I would wear it freaking everywhere.




Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2011 Ready to Wear - soft, white, lacy, very girly - I love.
