Inspiration Boards

inspiration

I spent a while yesterday making material inspiration boards to help me come up with ideas for new jewelry and I thought I would share them with you. I love the colors! This one of my favorite things to do because half the fun is just arranging them and giving them names of what they remind me of. It really helps me to come up with new ideas because everything is already sorted with other things that they go well with. I really recommend it if you are ever having a creative mental block.

Best wishes,

Finally some more jewelry for Robin's Egg!

It has taken me a long time to get Robin's Egg really going. It can be hard to focus on all of my shops when I have 3 sometimes so I am trying really hard to keep up with RE. I love the new direction I am taking with it and I added a few new items that I really love! Here are some photos of the new items that I am working on.

Jonathan Adler

In one of the recent issues of Seventeen Magazine there was a room that had a chair with this adorable rainbow Taurus pillow on it. I saw this thing and loved it, it was exactly all of the colors I liked. It said it was designed by Jonathan Adler who I had never heard of so I looked him up. Oh my goodness. This mans sense of color and pattern, oh my lord. I love it. His company has been added to my dream job list. I watched an interview with him and it was great because he is not only amazingly talented but he is hilarious too!

The company has a great manifesto that I wanted to share with you: Here is the link because I can't get the photo any larger!---- Manifesto

Front page

My most recent treasury made the front page today! So exciting! This has only happened to me one other time and it is so exciting! I hadn't made a treasury in a while so this was so cool.
Hope you are having a fantastic day,

Shop Update

New items this week-

I added all of these plus a few more that will be added in the next day or so. I am really excited about the two with the round vintage opaque beads from my grandma and the new howlite stone ones that are long and great for layering! I am trying to get a bunch of color combos of those going.

Best wishes,
