Great ideas?
cherries and ponies, Nikon Coolpix 4500
Part of the creative process is giving yourself permission to explore, get wacky, be ridiculous. Last week began with cherry earrings and a pony necklace, and ended with a tomato shaped like an ear that we actually pierced at a dinner party! (with the silver ring that holds the measuring spoons together)
I've been thinking "out of the box" as they say in regard to jewelry design.
I think I'm onto something.
Don't you wish you could keep those cherries alive forever?
By the way, thank you for all the support about the tight jeans thing. I loved hearing your stories about vinyl and dieting and making your own pact to enjoy yourself (and your body) fully, right at this moment. So inspiring.

Seriously though, if you wanted to make cherry earrings out of real cherries you could just pour that clear goo all over it. Like those silly magnets of fruit tarts that you only see at cheap stores. Or like the fake food in japanese restaurant windows.

Posted by: h at July 18, 2003 11:15 AMpony necklace rocks. (really, it does. i like it.) watch out, cameron diaz may order a few next week. then you'll be in all the Fall magazines and pony's will be hip again. super cool!

Posted by: any at July 18, 2003 12:16 AMI just have to say I love Sasha's smile (it is Sasha isn't it?) How inspiring. I love the cherries - I do think your on to something.
I've been *trying* to explore, get creative and ridiculous lately - thanks for reminding me to keep on trying to think outside the box.
Posted by: stef at July 17, 2003 09:24 PMHey guys,
You know the cherries are fake, right?
and the pony is suspended in a sort of
mid-air plain of pony land...
I WISH I could actually wear cherries in my ears and raspberries on my fingertips.

Posted by: Peppermint Tina*:) at July 17, 2003 04:55 PMI like the pony necklace, but maybe it is a little "big" - maybe just one strand of beads holding it - although I don't know how the holes are positioned in it, so maybe that wouldn't work. And, maybe the cherry earings could just be one cherry, not 3. That is just my opinon, I seem to be favoring more minimalist items lately.
Posted by: doodle at July 17, 2003 02:58 PMYour beads look delicious like "hard candy"!
I truely covet them!
Right now I'm also exploring possibilities in jewlery, in a very lateral way...with asian inspired pendants.
