INSPIRATION: Poppies by the Sea

I thought I'd share the story behind another one of my pieces of jewellery with you, and show what inspired me to create it: 



This red and aqua ribbon necklace was inspired by the wonderful sight of bright red poppies against an aqua sea - like glowing jewels set in an expanse of tropical haze:


The poppy photos were taken at a glorious seaside garden just minutes from where I live on the Cornish Coast in England. What a colourful inspiration this garden has been for me!  


In this necklace I used clear glass and/or gemstones that sparkle, like jewels, as the Poppies against the sea, while the crinkles and creases of the ribbon are reminiscent of the ocean waves.




 I love nature. I wonder just where would we be without it's beauty and inspiration?

New Work on the way . . .

Here's a little sneak preview of my next collection:

I've been very busy creating my new range for late Summer / early Autumn. It features matt, muted shades paired with the sumptuous textures of silver, silk and gemstones - so tactile! They are designed to be worn layered - to mix and match, but do work equally well worn one at a time for simplicity and elegance.

I'm very happy with them, love them in fact, and have been making lots for myself!!





I'm very drawn to muted shades at the moment - smoky, stormy, moody. Would love to know what colours you are drawn to this year as Summer turns to Autumn. I must say I'm usually drawn to plum and berry colours as Autumn shifts in. But hey, I'm not done with Summer yet - need a little more sun still yet.

These designs will be in my shop in a few weeks time,  and I'll be posting more pictures and sharing some behind the scenes images too.



Please feel free to browse my Jewellery Shop or Website, I have a 20% OFF SALE running at the moment!


And have a lovely day!
