Today is inspiration piece of the week day! Each week I post a piece that knocked me off my chair. This is @carriearmstrongdesign newest piece of yumminess! I live the combination of gold silver and turquoise. You should see her other work. Worth checking out! Inspired me to play more with combining metals for a beautiful contrast. #metalsmith#jewelry#artist#goldjewelry#silverjewelry#cuff#turquoisejewelry #carriearmstrongdesign #todaysinspiration (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Bz03WnsVv/?igshid=1ecirbgezl4e2

What’s on my bench today? 2 beautiful lace embossed silver pendants. The imprint came out really great on these. I love my rolling mill!! So incredible that you can make a permant memory of delicate wedding gown lace on silver for a necklace. That way you can wear your dress everyday! #weddingjewelry#sterlingsilver#jewelry#handmade#rollingmill#dcartist#necklace#bridesmaidguft#motherofbridegift#motherinlawgift#custom (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0__hYYh3HQ/?igshid=kcaxoqurtfsy

Love my little flower garden. Especially when I am trying to figure out how to make a kinetic flower. Worked 7 hrs today on one idea! Seems to be working out so far. Time will tell. Sure does test my patience! #jewelrymaking#dcartust#dcigers#flowers#inspiration (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Hg-7CnSXK/?igshid=vibe9c8d919c

How do you organize all of your ideas and inspirations? This took a year to complete but I now have binders for everything! Well worth the time to sort all of this stuff! I have another large bookshelf with books and journals. I have to take time everyday to look through these. Great resources and inspirations. Especially when I’m in a creative funk. Which happens when I have too many ideas to create at one time. If you know me personally you know I can generate some creative ideas!!! Show me how you organize yourself! #studio#organization#declutter#binders#artjournals#messystudio#creative #dcartist# https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0xZLRhBPA/?igshid=1dtmhoebsaaj6

Cutting, etching, filing, bending, twisting, polishing- phew! Love how this brooch came out. Was thinking so much about my Aunt Arlene while making this. She loved brooches. #brooch#handcraftedjewelry#dcartust#pin#jewelry#etchedcopper#oneofakindjewelry#sandybuffiedesigns (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BztSxlNBxWf/?igshid=13aqk3k2sg3qt
