Leather Jewelry in Progress

It's no coincidence that I've been posting more about works in progress of my leather jewelry than the finished product.  I am always really interested to see things in an incomplete state where ideas are flowing and the final form is still being conceived.  I'm also finding that in interacting with potential buyers or people interested in my work, I'm receiving more of a positive response due to the interactive nature of progress shots.  I really enjoy the making process and will be photographing it more often, as the process, in my opinion, is as significant as the finished product. Long story short, enjoy the mess on my desk that will become jewelry!

In the studio....

This morning was very productive!  I thought I'd show you some works in progress so you can see the pieces made from beginning to end.  I was playing around with different methods of painting, color and texture.  These paintings will become statement necklaces.  I think that they're perfect for summer. The more color the better.
