As
I “stroll” through the jewelry departments of some of my favorite stores and
boutiques, one of the things that I find fascinating is the way in which high
end designers toss in a variety of beads and components. I love the
juxtaposition of components in unexpected ways – that’s what inspires me. In
turn, it makes me so happy when someone looks at my jewelry designs and says “I
have never seen those gemstones used together. I would not have thought to mix
it up like this.” I always take it as a positive observation and not a
criticism.
I
challenge myself daily in my designs by looking at the combo of the unexpected.
One of my bugaboos about online shopping is the inability to reach out and
touch an item in which you are interested. To really look at it close up and
ask about it. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to point out the
individual components of one piece each week here in the blog so you get a
better idea of what it’s all about. Hence, the title of a new series: Anatomy
101. I hope you enjoy it and aren't thrown back to Biology 100 when you had to dissect the cow's eyeball or that damn frog! If you are thrown back...I feel your pain.
I’d
love if you shared your thoughts via a comment. To do so, look for the tiny
little word “comment” in the small type at the end of this post. Click on that
word and you will be able to tell me what you think. (Am I a fool to ask? Oh, I
hope not!) I know, right now the comment section is not the easiest of systems
but until I figure out a different widget to use in its place, I’ll continue
with it for now. Thanks for playing along!
