There is always a bit of rock or wood or brick that works well. For earrings I like the edge of a clear glass with a few more colorful glasses in the back ground to get blurred and soften. I sometimes go to the thrift store for glasses and plates.Gaeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549165682864974309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-86411277284972695532008-07-16T11:38:00.000-04:002008-07-16T11:38:00.000-04:00I really like the look of bark or wood as the back...I really like the look of bark or wood as the background. The neutral color makes the brightly colored beads stand out, and it has that earthy feel that seems to compliment metals, like silver and brass. Here's an example from etsy:<BR/><BR/>http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13381916<BR/><BR/>While we are on this subject, I must vent a little about a pet peeve of mine! I know etsy artists want their photos to look "artsy", but I can't stand when they only show parts of a necklace and never show you how the necklace looks in its entirety. Sure, some of the photos can be artistic with most of the necklace blurred/faded out, but I think there needs to be one photo of the whole necklace. I also really like when there is a photo showing how the necklace looks on a neckline (either on a human model or a mannequin). Just my opinion though!<BR/><BR/>P.s. I really like your newest wire wrapped necklace!Lucid Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242760391750163003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-66234401214853409602008-07-16T11:30:00.000-04:002008-07-16T11:30:00.000-04:00Since I make pottery, too, I like to find a vase t...Since I make pottery, too, I like to find a vase that lends itself to be used to drape necklaces on. Usually earthy and a neutral color that doesn't take away from the piece. It the lip is done thin enough and angled right, you can hang earrings off it, too. It's alway nice to see jewelry hanging so you get a good idea of how it looks when wore.

With all the vibrancy in your work, maybe something like rocks, or just a large smooth piece of slate or limestone (I suppose the tile store would be filled with inspiration!). Will give texture and interest without being a distraction. The tile can also be rested vertically, which could allow for your draping your jewelry to hang down.Michelle Engel Bencskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219482020450093441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-57139284969288472422008-07-16T08:30:00.000-04:002008-07-16T08:30:00.000-04:00I like to parouse the handmade paper aisle at your...I like to parouse the handmade paper aisle at your local art store. there is a world of options out there ;)<BR/>theres a lovely artist on etsy who photographs her wares on delicate vintage hankerchiefs!!! so sweet!<BR/><BR/>http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=45453Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
