Wire Jewelry Tip for Sept 3, 2014
Fall into Fall Jewelry Making
Fall is when the leaves come down and the kids return to school and our lives shift from leisure trips and backyard get-togethers to more indoor activities. This is also the time of year when we take more interest in enhancing our careers and our hobbies.
How will you take advantage of the season?
We love the changing seasons because of the influence color has on it; moving in the fall to auburn shades, brown and gold and even black accents get pulled in surrounding Halloween.
Take a look at some of the Autumn colored Gemstone Cabochons we have available.
Leaf shapes and harvest themes full of gourds and pumpkins and baskets of fruit, can each be a great influence for inspiring new pieces. And it’s not too early to start planning holiday pieces either.
Texture is another element in wire jewelry design and fall brings to us a wide array of effect to capture in the art form.
Look at a few of our Druzy One of a Kind Cabochons for beautiful Texture and Fall Color:
To apply the colors, textures and general nature of fall in your wire jewelry creations, take a walk in the woods, ride a bike down a lane, watch the geese fly south and take notes about the reflections you gather while doing these things.
Take a look at a few of the Autumn inspired Copper and Gold Filled findings that would look great with your pieces:
Then consider the materials that express these reflections – what type of wire or gems or beads will you select that will bring to life the essence of these fall influences?
We have beautiful Autumn Colored Craft Wire for any project:
What size and shape will contribute to the overall piece considering it being the fullest, roundest season?
Here are a few of our latest Gemstone beads that you might enjoy using in your fall creations:
