gifts of the forest INSPIRATION

I am so excited to start sharing some of the latest pieces in a series that i’m currently creating called GIFTS OF THE FOREST. In this blog post I wanted to give you a sneak peak at some of the first to be released, and where the inspiration came from!

GIFTS OF THE FOREST was born from the beauty that captures my soul in the expansive woods behind my home. There is a constant change and cycle of life and death that is always moving and flowing. Each day there is always something new. Sometimes is a perfect little patch of tiny mushrooms that popped up over night, or a randomly found bone. This series is completely inspired by all those happy gifts from the forest.

If you guys have been here for a while you know how much I love amazonite. Aside from it’s stunning blue green color, what I find to be one of the coolest things about it is that it comes from the mountains of Colorado. Pike’s Peak region to be exact. The balance of the beauty of life and death that the forest offers is forever awe inspiring, just like these sweet little BALANCE earrings.

Y’all I love lichen. I can’t tell you how many hundreds of lichen pictures I have saved on all of my devices. Im obsessed with the colors, the textures, the patterns, and the absolute randomness of it all. Lichen is proof that Mother Nature must be just a little bit silly. The LICHEN bracelet was inspired by this beautiful randomness of Mother Nature.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed a quick little peek inside my brain! And get yourself ready for these items and a few other designs to be launched on 2/22 at 8am MST.
