Inspiration from Nature



As I am working on a new line for a large resort company I am finding my inspiration directly from nature. There is so much there to work with, and throughout history, everyone from architects to painters to jewelry makers have used nature as a primary source of artistic stimulation.

This flower ring is an example of a piece drawn directly from nature. It is hand carved into the metal using gravers that are shaped specifically for the job, then each leaf is chased using hand-made tools to give it texture and lay it out to look like a real leaf.
