Cascade Grande Gold Earring

A jewelry designer out of Boulder, Colorado, Leslie Chandler works under the moniker Flow Designs and creates stunning pieces that reference nature. Among my favorites in her current etsy shop are the stunning gold and freshwater pearl Cascade Grande earrings that I would love to wear on New Year’s Eve and the Avalon necklace that I can only imagine would throw little sparkles of light everywhere. Leslie’s work is delicate and interesting and each of her pieces is unique.

These lovely screenprinted pieces are made in Rhode Island by Stephanie of Stevester. She’s inspired by her natural surroundings and I love that she does everything from creating the original designs to making the screens to doing the actual printing. Her straightforward style reminds me of my own – love it!

Gnarled
"Gnarled"

I first fell in love with Diana Brennan’s “Gnarled” (above) quite some time ago. The silhouette is just so striking and incredibly beautiful. More recently, she’s been posting photographs from her “Natural History” series, comprised of specimens from a local museum. There’s something slightly disturbing in the fact you can tell they’re not alive, and yet they also look as though they could jump off the page.
