Funky Fabric Rings

I have three shows coming up soon, and hope to show my jewelry in two of them - the third one is an art show where I will show only my paintings and my framed works in fabric.

So here's some more of my boho-chic jewelry...I need a hand model, or one of those eerie cut-off-at-the-wrist ring display hands, though :)  It's hard to depict in pictures how quite large these pieces really are.

All of these funky fabric rings are one-of-a-kind pieces and are on adjustable bases to fit all sizes.  They are made from new reclaimed fabric and then adorned with hand-sewn embellishments - a bit of eco-friendly, bohemian fashion for your fingers!

Dreaming in White

When I imagine my dream space, it's always white.  White may seem sterile and impersonal to some, and it can be that way sometimes, depending on how it's being used, and of course there's the question of keeping it well, white.

BUT,

white is so liberating, so clean, so fresh, and so incredibly versatile.

You can play with textures in an all-white room, or just simply combine it with another favorite color.  Small touches of bright hues shine against a crisp white backdrop.  The results is usually stunning.

For a period of time, a long time ago, I had a red and white room.  I still remember that space with fondness.  This is a tribute to that old room of mine.

They are not real rooms, but clever renderings (look closely!) and only some of them have names of the designer, but they are all pretty fab, don't you think?

When I studied design, making perspective drawings was one of my favorite subjects, and I made a LOT of white rooms!!!  Those were all done by hand, but computer renderings are now the norm, and look real enough to deceive.

In any case, they are a great way of playing with color without the fear of commitment!

Do you have a dream-space dream color?

Enjoy!

 

Custom Ring

Black and white - YUMMY!  I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself.

Black cotton with white embroidery, white seed beads and translucent white beads, and a few tiny silvery sequins on an adjustable ring.

Lunch

Emerge

I've been super laid-back the last ten days or so!!!  This piece was finished a week and a half ago, and I didn't get around to listing it until now.

Well, red it is!

Fabric, like paint, or anything else you could do with your hands, is so therapeutic to mess aound with.  As usual, I allowed the piece to evolve and just kept layering.  Then a shy flower appeared, and began to step out.

I called it "Emerge".

I didn't shoot these in good light.  The piece is much softer-looking in person. 

Anyway, it's in the store now!
