Live, love, create

The Lily ring, $10

Sometimes it isn’t technique, sometimes it is this creative …force…inside you that pushes the metal one way, your hand to that bead. 

And then someone asks you “how pretty! How did you make it?” You don’t know how to answer with anything other than “I don’t know.”

I’m not a metalsmith nor am I big on metal rings. The Lily ring it seems kinda just came to me. I sat down at my work bench and grabbed this vintage pearl necklace and somehow just saw this.

My favorite part is how the two wires flow away from each other and come back. That happened on it’s own as I made the piece.

The Gypsy plate, $12

I couldn’t resist! This gorgeous vintage plate is what I imagine my customer’s enjoying in their home. Because of the age, this plate is a unique and hard to find piece that would look great as a decorative piece or as a plate.

The Solange earrings

Anyone who knows me had to know this was coming! I had to name these silk thread earrings after her because they remind me of the first picture I saw of Solange where she wowed me. Although I was a fan of the “…Hadley Street” album I never thought of Solange as a fashionista. Then one day she stepped out in the most gorgeous little Kente dress and I started paying attention. She is daring, care free and always true to her own aesthetic. I don’t always love what she wears but I LOVE that she dares to wear it. 

I tip my hat to her. 

Hopefully her namesake is as deserving of the name as I think it is. 

How do you feel about it?

Everyone who knows me, knows Emma Watson registered on my fashion crush list with her daring haircut. Her style is so crisp, so neoclassic and inspired that I have found myself making a few pieces inspired by her outfit. 

My favorite earned the honor of being her namesake. Check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79232082/the-emma-earrings

It was inspired by one of her darker, more daring looks and one of my favorite outfits
