New Earrings // Sketches for Class

First off, some pictures of these really long feather earrings I just bought!

Now, for school I had to pick a Complementary, Analogous, and Monochromatic pictures, and create some designs based off the inspiration I got from them. Here they are below!

New York Fashion Week School Project

The point of this project for school was to pull images from 2 designer shows that inspired you and sketch some designs as a result of the inspiration. Here are mine pictured below!

Lacoste F/W 2012

My designs as a result.

Erin Fetherson F/W 2012 and my designs.

We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

Sketches by me.

 Bull necklace

 Feather earring

 Elephant ring with ruby eyes.

 Belt buckle outlines, can you guess which one I decided to go with?

 Belt with belt buckle attachment.

Snake necklace. Something I've been working on for some time now. I wanted it to be like a snake necklace that I haven't seen. Well I haven't seen any snake necklaces that wrap all the way around the neck, at least not yet. Even so, I have a lot of different ideas for this type of necklace. It can go many different ways.

Might have already posted this one, but I'm not quite sure so just in case, heres the Bull belt design!

Amazing jewelry I found in this book I rented from the library, I wonder if people still do that? Rent books from the library? Anyway, some more sketches, and some non-legitimate outfit posts because I had no one to photograph me that day! Scroll!

Collar-style necklaces, they were very inspiring!

Bracelets from the 1950s

And last, a necklace I made.

Some old, some new, DESIGNS!

Some old and new designs that I have come across and created recently!

Based off a necklace I saw in a jewelry book. I posted a blog a while back about this piece!

This boot I drew would be really cool in gray, black, and a bluish gray color.

Squid necklace inspired by designs by Hanna Bernhard

More designs to come for sure! I have so many pictures to share i'm going to have to do separate posts. All for now. :)

Feathery Friends

I think the fashion community is seriously lacking in feather jewelry. I can see little bits and pieces of feather jewelry coming up every now and then when I go out to shop. But i never see anything that I would wear. The things I'm seeing aren't extravagant enough! They're too boring, and too small!

So I decided to draw my own designs for feather jewelry and look around for some other feathery things that catch my eye.

I really enjoy feather jewelry. It reminds me of when I was younger my neighbor, me, and her mother used to go to antique stores that were all outside shops and they were run by real Indians. Each outside store had tons of feathery jewelry and other things that the Indians made.

We also would go antique shopping downtown www.cherokeeantiquerow.net/ and shop there too. I hope I get to do this again sometime! I'd love to go down there and take pictures and find neat little things.

Sketches

Here are some sketches for some necklaces that I've been working on since about Sept. 2009. It took me a while to organize them all into just one sketch book. I'm almost done and heres a little preview of whats to be shown!
