Inspired by: Swallowfield


I have this lovely print from Jennifer Judd-McGee's etsy shop, Swallowfield, in my studio. I look at it every day and it never occured to me until last night, to use it as inspiration for a piece of jewelry! So I sat down and pawed through every drawer and bin in search of coordinating beads. Here is what I came up with .... It was originally going to be a necklace but the charms weren't lying the right way for that style, so it turned into a charm bracelet which I love much better.
It jingles and jangles just perfectly. I included a vintage faceted Jet glass button, a red lampwork spacer from Loupiac, a spotted charm from ClayButtons, an flower Arte metal charm from Vintaj, a ceramic rose bead from Gaea, a bee bead from Round Rabbit Extra, a lampworked button from Gardanne Beads, a red carved bone round, and a glass and polymer charm from The Lola Collection. The charms dangle off of round link chain.
I have quite a few of Jenn's prints in my house, I wonder what I can draw inspiration from next!

  6. Looking at your darling bracelet makes me pout all over again. I just got back from Portland, Oregon where there is a great little button shop (The Button Emporium)and that was the only shop I wanted to go to, unfortunately I didn't have time to stop in and I'm very disappointed. Love you're bracelet..pout, pout, (smile)

  8. I love the bracelet and the inspiration piece! I especially love the chain you used! It's perfectly chunky yet somehow light. Would you mind sharing the source?
