Ideas For Using Silks...

There is a new book called
"A Jewelry Accord, Making Jewelry Using Cording, Ribbon and Lace" 
in the works by a couple of fantastic Jewelry Designers…
They have a companion blog going which I highly recommend following:

I don't know about you...
But I can't wait to get that printed book in my possession so I can have some visual inspiration and a few tips and techniques to add to my growing jewelry making skills!

There is just something to being able to sit with a book or magazine in your favorite chair…
 A warm beverage of choice near by (it's winter - warm anything is welcome!)…
And get into finding your muse amongst the pages.

My muse can start to take form in visualizing something…
Then she starts to show herself more as techniques are learned…
And as I am working through a project, she shows herself fully through ideas that stream out of my heart and head through visions of projects that can be.
She is very elusive though…
I must start to keep a sketch book and drawing utensil with me at all times while designing


Here are a couple of my favorite OOAK color combos from my Etsy shop…
OOAK Random Color Grouping 51
Sea Shore Knot Bundle (made from stock colors).
These bundles allow you to get a quick selection of colors to fool around with in your jewelry design.
I also have added a bunch of listings where you can pick your own color palettes in specified quantities.
With over 75 colors - there are endless color palettes to be created!

You can also visit my website and pick whatever combination of colors and types (make sure to hit add to cart within each color section - you'll see what I mean).
My website is best for larger orders or orders with lots of different silks because it all goes into a cart directly vs you sending me the colors in a message.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have fun designing or buying handmade jewelry with these beautiful silks!
