Sublety of Color and Shape: Designing artful holiday jewelry
Posted on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 by Jewelry making supplies New York City
I've never been one to dress to the season. You won't find me wearing festive Swarovski crystal snowman earrings or wearing a jingle bell around my neck. Today I thought I would explore some different ideas for creating in the holiday spirit! I started with the simple idea of a candy cane to see how artists interpreted this theme differently than the norm.
1) Use texture or pattern to suggest an idea subtly. By simply changing the angle of a line or texture stripes this ring takes on the structure of a peppermint stick without the calories!
2) Color and unexpected materials come together in these great red and white earrings made from recycled newspaper! How can you interpret holiday color schemes into your work either by use of materials or technique?
3) Is your design versatile? By simply using red and white, these earrings could easily complement many different outfits and holidays.
What ways do you involve Christmas, Winter, and Holiday Color schemes into your work? Have you designed interesting jewelry that transitions well into the holidays?
