For me, color has always been an inspiration.Much of the color combos in jewelry that are different really inspire me. Besides Mirian Haskell, Ian St. Gellar and Stanley Hagler have been two of my favs. I am especially in love with the baskets and butterflies.

These types of compositions in color and style really show me what I like. I tend to stay with the monotones or the bohemian mix of colors.
Another artist who inspires me, especially with color mix is Barbier, a designer often found in women's magazines of the 1920's. Definitely Parisienne. The counter balance of color is sometimes subtle, sometimes stark but always provides a counter balance. I am fiend for Deco anyway.
Within this line, I am hoping to loosen up my designs a bit. When I cage, I am too tight with the way I design not allowing for the freedom of flow. And I want these babies to flow. I am finding I am having to do, undo and redo for a looser form.
Onto the next place! Have a fun time a do drop me a note!

Hi Mary, thanks for refreshing me on jewelry history, your examples are stunning! I never realized that our jewelry lines have been influenced by past designers until I took this class. I look forward to seeing your caged designs!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon--not so much history but a lot of examples. I want to be able to do this ype of work. Hope I can pull it off!
DeleteLoved seeing all the pieces, Mary Katherine. I am a little stumped on the Workshop project and the pix helped me out! Thanks so much for your post! It's all a work in progress!
ReplyDeleteI want to work on trees that use one of the filigrees from your store as a base while use your flower basket bases as a bottom--like a overgrown topiary.
DeleteI wanted to do a brooch and a necklace in that motif and then do a charm bracelet with the leaves and flowers and another necklace using the silver plate heart as caging base for a heart shaped base. The last will be a brooch that will use a filigree for an oversized pieces kinda Chanel-esque.
Those pieces you shared were stunning. Can't wait to see your line!
ReplyDeleteThe pieces I showed are not mine but examples I want to follow! If only. . . .thank you for stopping by, Susan!
ReplyDeleteWow I am impressed , Love what you have put together, I am looking forward to seeing your reveal
ReplyDeleteMary, the photos you shared are wonderful and so colorful and inspirational. Art Deco appeals to me, too, and the photos of fashion are great! Looking forward to seeing your line.

ReplyDeleteVery nice blog Mary. A breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteI love the examples of jewelry and fashions you have. Especially the bright jewelry of Hagler and St.Geller. They remind me a lot of Betsy Johnson's work, and I imagine they inspired her too.
