Nature Inspired

I admire details.  Especially in nature; there is so much beauty in the details of nature.  Whenever I need inspiration for a new piece of jewelry, all I have to do is look out my back window to the landscape. 

I mentioned a few posts ago that I was working on a new design.  Well, here it is.  This one is called "Last Leaf."  My inspirational image was a fall tree, bare of all it's leaves save one.  It's branches delicate and knotted.  From a piece of broken jewelry, I repurposed a green glass bead that to me looks like a hypnotic leaf.  I paired it with some complimentary black beads and finished the necklace off with two braided ties.

Nothing beats the pride and accomplishment I feel when I hold a newly finished piece of jewelry, especially one like "Last Leaf".  I always think, wow, I really made this!  My own two hands are responsible for all these little details, and I feel closer to nature through those details.  And I can't forget to mention that the main component of the necklace is a natural material: Hemp! 

I hope the future wearer of this necklace will take a moment to admire nature and all the beauty in it's details.
