Tribal Love

May 19, 2015 1 Comment

I am loving tribal designs so much right now. I've been cutting out feathers and arrows with my trusty jeweler's saw and love how they are turning out. These three different feather designs include etched copper, sterling silver and hammered copper, all with a soldered sterling silver shaft and quill. 

 

Using a variation on the mixed metal arrow bracelet in my shop, I'm now offering a sterling silver arrow necklace with or without the words "BE BRAVE." It's a fun piece...I made myself one and wear it every day!

I've also collected quite a few metal design stamps with native american and southwest designs. I love making unique one-of-a-kind pendants with tribal markings. I have even tried my hand at making my own design stamps which is so cool because they will be truly unique and not mass produced. 

You can check out my tribal designs in the "Free Spirit" collection in my shop. I have lots of ideas swimming around in my head so check back often for new designs.

Spring Trends: 70s Bohemian

March 16, 2015 1 Comment

I was a child of the 70s. Peace. Love. Flower Power. It was an era like no other...the music, the fashions, and the free spirit. Bold colors, long skirts, flowing tops, flared pants, and platform shoes. I had an awesome pair of pants...hot pink and bright yellow with huge flowers...they flared from the knee to reveal hot pink when I walked...they were so cool. I wish I still had them.

This spring, it's the Age of Aquarius all over again. Bohemian and gypsy-inspired fashions and accessories are hot. From long layered necklaces, bright colors, and tribal patterns to cowboy boots, feathers, and fringe, now is the time to flaunt your gypsy soul. 

Remember that bohemian style means embracing your individual personality and expressing yourself through your fashion choices. The possibilities are endless.

Peace.
