Regular readers of my blog will recall my recent frustration at losing my motivation and inspiration for jewellery design last time I went on holiday. It took weeks before I felt I was back 'in the zone'. So as I was packing for our 2 week family holiday to Brittany, I decided to take my sketchbook and a few tools and materials. I felt a bit guilty at first as I was 'on holiday' but a few days into the holiday I put down my reading book and picked up my tools.
Inspired by the beautiful coastline we were staying at and feeling nicely relaxed, I really enjoying creating these Coiled Jewel Pendants and co-ordinating Coiled Jewel Earrings.
I will be listing some of these pieces in my
Etsy and
Folksy shops over the next day or so.

All of these are so lovely Kristin. I'm glad you took your sketch book with you to capture your inspirations...I find it relaxing to do that even when on holiday!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow!!! I love these new designs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathleen and Jenn - my two lovely supporters of my work. It's fun to create new designs - I am now working on a Coiled Jewel Bangle to complete the set!
