Inspiration
Usually my sampler design inspiration and my jewelry design inspiration come from two entirely different places. Antiques and early American folk art provide and amazing amount of inspiration for my sampler designs. For my jewelry, I'm more inspired by vintage "stuff." By vintage, I mean late 19th century and early 20th century.
This painting is an exception. While it's fairly early - early 19th century, the jewelry this stern lady is wearing is truly inspirational. Her bracelets seem to be made of hair which leads me to believe she is in mourning. I guess her black clothing is a give away too! Her brooch and rings are just gorgeous. Check them out!
