september inspirations

September in the country lanes and field margins of England.

The slanting sunlight, the fiery evening skies, the stubble in the fields and the rash of red berries in the hedgerows - I love them all.











There is something about the swaying ranks of seed heads and airy branching grasses and seed pods that makes me want to rush to my sketch book and work bench, and explore the shapes and textures in silver. So this time of year, I am totally in my element, and find it the most creative moment of the year.







I'm not quite sure where all this inspiration will take my designs, but here is what I was playing with today, unfinished but formulating slowly.



The following two sunday afternoons I will be showing my jewellery at a studio in Hitchin as part of Herts Open Studios -(at 3 Brook View) - do pop in if you are nearby!

    I have pinned my favourite, do let me know if you'd rather I didn't.
    I'm not far from Hitchen and I am free in two Sunday's time ... I can feel a plan formulating!

  6. Stunning sky and cloud photos. I have lost my creative mojo at the moment- I need some inspiration to kick start it. Perhaps I need to stare upwards a bit more! Love the ring, Ax

    1. Thanks A, ring is a work in progress, the big bobble will probably be a setting for a sparkley stone! I know that mojo feeling, it ebbs and flows doesn't it?x
