“When in doubt, don’t.”
Usually I ‘don’t’, but I managed to push myself in another direction.
Without an idea which way to go next on the painting schedule, I turned to jewelry. Designing jewelry is a lot like painting. There are colors, shapes and spacial relationships to overcome.

It’s the same creative process to work through, but the outcome is a little different. Still, as with paintings, someone has to be drawn to a piece to want to own it.

Paintings go up on someone’s wall in a space. Jewelry gets to be worn and taken out into the world on someone’s body. Same idea, but different.

So yeah, I thought a little jewelry distraction might be in order and put the paints aside for a little while to arrange some gorgeous semi precious stones. That shopping event is in September, but I may as well be prepared with items to sell. Unless I love these pieces too much to part with them.

Thank you Ann!
how BEAUTIFUL! you have a great eye. Going to check out your shop now!
Thanks Jenny! Maybe by now you have been to my Etsy shop, but these are not on the site yet. In fact, a lot of my work isn’t there because I’m not so sure if I like Etsy anymore. If you see work you like that isn’t on Etsy let me know!
