I love to read and collect inspirational quotes. When I came across this quote, my mind instantly clicked and I knew what I wanted to design--the result is the necklace that was featured at Rare Bird Finds.
A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.
-----Diane Mariechild
My inspiration to create jewelry comes from all my life's experiences. It might be something I see, read or hear that inspires me. My children, Brittney (8) and Blake (soon to be 6) often inspire me to slow down and take notice of the little things like the beautiful bugs or how great rain feels.
I keep a journal of ideas to help me focus on all the "clutter of ideas" in my brain. This helps me keep my designs in "collections" although I really do like to get very creative & artsy every 10-12 pieces...but the jewelry designs always find a good home! ;)
