As I am very new to Etsy, only three weeks now, I meet challenges every day. One of them is how to photograph my long necklaces, which are tricky to display and photograph. I found that some of my paintings provide a great background, lending interest to the composition. When tightly cropped, just an abstract background remains, offering contrast and balance.
For those tight close ups of the whole piece, I go where it takes me, on a different journey every time. This time, inspired by a very light white hat, sipping a minty tea drink by the sea, under a Royal Poinciana tree, come to my imagination.
Cool nights on the desert are what these Picasso Jasper coin beads necklace suggest, when you look at the individual landscapes naturally happening on each one of them. Sandy rocks and infinite plains in the never ending desert. A hammered sterling silver donut focal is at the center, as an oasis of cool water not too far.
Each day I travel to different places in my mind, as I work with gemstones and metals from different places of the world, near and far, which lend us their insights through their origins and organic history.
