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?




You can find this necklace here


Have a lovely day!

Poppies










Poppies! Don't you just love them? So bold and yet so fragile. Without doubt a favourite flower to paint.



All of these images are available for sale as prints in my online Art Shop.
Some of the original paintings are also available for sale on my main Website.
