That's what it reminds me of, too. XD

I'd love to play around with the idea some more and try more complex styles with the ruffle to mimic that style and create a more vintage look. : )

Haha! Great minds think alike I guess!

Oh yeah, that'd look so cool! Have you ever considered experimenting with steampunk a bit later?

I've done a few steampunk-ish pieces, but I don't know if I have photos of any of them. I made them while at conventions and sold them before I got the chance. I do that a lot... You'd think I'd learn. XD

But yes. I would like to try more things like that. I've used antique watch parts, gears, etc., but I'd really like to work with leather and maybe larger pieces, too. : )

LOL!! Aw man. Don't worry I do that too. I'll draw an awesome pic then I'll forget about it and I won't post it or I'll lose it somewhere.

Ooh! Leather? Wow. And antiques? That would be cool to watch out for! ^^

Haha, thanks! I'm away from my jewelry supplies right now, but I can't wait to get back and try out new things. ^^

Yay! Awesome!
Haha!
So when it comes to jewellery or I guess art in general who/what inspires you?

Sheepingly In reply to MidnightDestiny04 [2012-07-02 06:29:57 +0000 UTC]

Mmm... A lot of things, really. Sometimes it's all about just seeing that one item on the shelves, in an online store, or in a box of "junk" and I'll just start thinking of different pieces that I could incorporate it into. : )

Thinking of ways to make sets that follow a theme is one of my favourite things to do. Things like astrology, animals, colours... It's hard to pick out exactly what I'm inspired by because I'm inspired by so many things!

As for who, it would really have to be my best friend, *nonobadpup . She doesn't do any crafts, but her drive and passion for creating art really inspires and motivates me to do well myself. : )

Wow. That... is a lot.
I guess I can't say that I'm inspired by just one thing or person either. It's mostly other manga artists and fashion designers (Mainly Vivienne Westwood) and jewellery.

So sweet that you chose her to be a motivation.

She'd probably be embarrassed if she heard or saw me talking about it, haha. : )

Vivienne Westwood has gorgeous designs! : D I love her stuff, too. It's so modern, but with a very classic, timeless flair. I'd love to own some of her dresses. <3

Lol, aww. I think I'd be too if a friend I knew was talking about me like that too.

I know right?! Oh Gosh. I could stare at her clothing ForEVER!! What I'd give to have even one of her designs. Just one!
