alidra alic

i have decided that every friday i am going to share a jewelry artist who's work inspires me. this week i would love to share the jewelry of alidra alic. her statement pieces are inspired by 'alice's adventures in wonderland', 'flora' and 'interpretations' of jewelry. she also has a lovely line of more wearable fine jewelry. i am drawn to her subtle use of color and natural forms, in contrast i am also kind of in love with her pink and yellow sugary macaroon-like jewels.

check back on fridays to see more unique jewelry!

emily miranda

i recently stumbled upon the work of brooklyn based artist emily miranda. i think her "encrusted" jewelry looks good enough to eat, and her one of a kind cakes look pretty tasty too.

yes that's a cake!

i love it when artist post photos of their work space. i think that emily's studio is especially cute, it is in an old camper in her back yard.

rainy day

i set aside a chunk of my day to "get inspired" so i have spent the last two hours looking through books, googling images, listening to music, playing with my dog and watching marie antoinette in the background. here are some pictures of two things that always inspire me:

& sugary confections
