Jasper and Love

August 19, 2016

For now, I'm calling these "Cora II", just as the first fossil coral earrings I made were "Cora". We'll see if I need to get more creative, or if that will help me memorize all these names. I have a penchant for naming inanimate objects, so it's easier to remember than you'd think :)

Wow. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure the selfie product shot would work. But the lighting! The dress near-matching the wall! (Ok, not really in real life, but with this light - excellent!) These "Citra" earrings are *so* simple but still pack a punch.

By far my favorite. This asymmetrical composition is lovely - I can see myself using it again in future. But the colors too! Playing both sides of the gold tone, darker with the faceted small bead and lighter with the creamy yellow one... and same with the pink. A mottled salmon below, and a faded salmon above. Love these shapes, and the light in these images definitely worked in my favor.

These are one of the few one-of-a-kind earrings I expect to make. But who knows! I found these stones at a rock shop in Maine, and while there were a handful of others I really wanted, it was these that I simply couldn't say "no" to. 

 

Next up - besides just making more work and exploring more materials, I also want to get this glass product shot right. You'll see that some of these are different from before. The earrings are actually hooked onto a plastic vase, and a glass vase is behind it to further abstract the background. I like this method, but need some windex to make both vases spotless. Projects!

You definitely need to see these #headshots from my #photoshoot with @vaughn33 - lucky to be quarantining with these lovelies! 💐
When #whatsnext feels unknowable, it feels good to design the #nextstep for your #embroidery project 😍 #fezembroidery #moroccanembroidery
Teaching my #first #paintnsip tonight, and these are my four trial run ideas (first is copy of Van Gogh)... which one should I teach to beginners? 1, 2, 3, or 4?
#morningwalk 
After abruptly losing my job (and home and future plans) two weeks ago, I feel like I’m finally getting settled into this new normal. Like a lot of you, I’m figuring out this #quarantinelife and starting to sketch out ideas
clouded paths carry 
us toward this unexpected
horizon. dawn? dusk?
So hard to know what the future holds - or even the next 24 hours - but I’m always grateful for some quality time on the #beachesofmorocco
#takeawalk
#tetouanembroidery often -always? - uses this doubled brick stitch to fill the hand drawn shapes, and often outlines some or all shapes in black 🎉
Finally finished the #nextlevel of this #moroccanembroidery I’ve been working on. Crazy excited to design the next step 😍
#hiking : happy, thank you, #moreplease
