“Butterflies” is another great source of inspiration from Nature.  From ColorLovers.com,
a beautiful presentation of color palettes inspired by the natural beauty of butterflies.  Great inspiration for Fashion Designers as well as Beaded Jewelry Artists. Awesome!

From the same source of Nature, the inspiration for naming your creation comes naturally too.  Are you curious to know how popular is this naming convention? 
I googled for Beaded Jewelry and Butterflies, and Voila! (vwa LAH!) There were at least 400,000 results from these 2 keywords.

My imagination could not have been more vivid until I stumbled on this jewelry site.
This particular creation by Cathy Dailey is very a beautiful interpretation of a butterfly. She had given it a name that very aptly captures my imagination. This is truly a great inspiration from Nature that gives more than life to a creation in color, shape and texture.

I can feel the mood and an influence of culture in the making of a trademark that could be so unique to each individual.

Colors of Spring in Your Beaded Jewelry Creations.


I have been spending time looking for jewelry creations that has appeal, something that grabs my attention at first sight.  It is just a way of drawing inspiration from the artistic geniuses who created them. Most of them got their inspiration from Nature itself.  It is the way to go, and in Spring, go for the Colors of Spring in Your Beaded Jewelry Creations.

Focusing on certain themes helps a great deal.  When the inspiration comes, imagination runs wild.  The great challenge comes when you start to choose combinations of shapes and colors to mix it on your very own palette.

I am not very good at choosing colors for my Beaded Jewelry projects.  Most of the time, I would prefer to stay with monochromes to be on the safe side.  Purple is my pick and it turns out to be most appealing to my friends too.  Different shades of purple is monochromatic.  However, after some time, the color becomes a little boring.  Then it’s time to be more adventurous to try the complementary colors that are opposite colors, and analogous colors that are adjacent colors found on the Color Wheel.

I was checking out the Colors of Spring.  Photos of the flowers found in the garden at my condominium.  Spring brings bright and cheerful colors.  The flowers are so beautiful, so close that you can see, smell or touch.  How I wish I could see the beautiful flowers in your garden too.  A great inspiration to start a new day, whether the roses, orchids, lilies or tulips that are carefully arranged in a vase, or put on canvas or refined accessories.

Flowers for Inspiration in Beaded Jewelry


Flowers for Inspiration in Beaded Jewelry is a wonderful excuse to get back to nature and away from the workshop and computer for a pleasant break. 

Did a lot a amatuer photography with my faithful Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P73.
It was a lot of fun time with friends and family with just point and shoot no-brainer effort.

When I had to get down to photograph my beaded jewelry, I started to appreciate the macro function icon represented by a little tulip.  Digital photography is fun.  It is certainly a luxury to be able to shoot and delete. When I get lucky,  I get a few good shots.

We get fresh air in the early morning while sparing a few minutes to listen to the birds singing in the garden. I craned my neck to look for the birds singing the same song.

I was there looking for some refreshing background pictures and got a few quick compositions right from the garden below.
