Color Inspiration - Pikes Peak

by Kristal Wick
Inspiration comes from every tiny corner of the world and as jewelry makers, we know nature is abundantly wealthy with inspirations designs, ideas and color pallets.
Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (taken by Steve Tohari) stopped me cold - not sure if my goose bumps were from the sheer beauty or feeling the snow!

I love images with sharp contrasting colors like the blue sky and copper hues of the mountains. These types of color pallets make the most interesting jewelry. I wanted to reflect the rugged texture of the mountains with hammered copper sheet and the smooth feel of the sky with crystal dangles and a boho fringy tassel. Get out your vacay pictures and make some jewelry!


Creatively,
Kristal
