Jewelry in Nature







In my last posting I talked about inspiration and what inspires different types of artists to create. Nature is a huge inspiration to a lot of photographers and painters. however it also inspires many other types of artists.
Mar Barbee a wonderful jewelry artist finds nature to be a huge inspiration for her jewelry

"Natural themes run through my work", Mar quiped in describing her creative process.
"Branches, twigs, vines and leaves; layers of colors and textures that make up our visual and emotional landscape. The color play of light and water, but especially Nature's jewels, all inspire me to express my vision in personal adornments, contemporary heirlooms for the generations.

As you can see from the photographs Mar creates wonderful and inspiring jewelry that can be worn casual or formal. Her wirework is exceptional and the quality of materials top notch. View Mar's wonderful display of jewelry in her ArtisansMarket.com Gallery
