Inspiration - Implementation - Issue

Inspiration: One of my favorite pairs of winter shoes are these Skechers. While putting them on one morning, I was inspired to translate the rivet detailing into a jewelry design.


Implementation: Copper heart and tin strip are hand cut and drilled, sitting on the bench block and ready for texturing/joining.



Issue: A heavy metal heart as strong as the love of your Valentine :-)

Inspiration: While uncovering my bird's cage of his "nightgown", a pretty beach towel, I was inspired by the colors to create a new bamboo bead, featuring mehndi (traditional henna tattoo) designs.


Implementation:
Tape used in masking the edges of the wood bead during painting.






Issue: a reversible bead that's bright, cheerful and fun!
