Nature Around Your Neck

Each season of the year brings marvelous colors, and I never cease to be amazed at the beauty of them. Of course my paintings are influenced by those wonderful mixes of colors, but my jewelry is definitely inspired by them. I tend to work my beads, I suppose subconsciously, based on the hues of nature... and in this case, Mother knows best!

This week, I did some research, if you want to call it that. I went through many of my photographs and found that yes indeed... my jewelry tries to live up to the gorgeous colors in the natural world around me, the world that I so enjoy photographing as I hike, birdwatch, or tend the garden. So take a walk through the seasons and see some of the results. Jewelry title links you that piece in my Etsy shop or on my website.

SPRING... Spring Romance

SUMMER... Forest Dreams

FALL... Leaf Shimmer

WINTER... Winter Ice

SPRING... Sunrise Sparkle

SUMMER... Summer Garden

FALL... The Good Earth

WINTER... Winter Sky

SPRING... I'm In Love

SUMMER... Dance of the Flowers

FALL... Moon Over the Mountain

WINTER... Circle of Life


I have many more photos but I'll share those at a later post.
