Inspiration for design can come from anything, and we are constantly pulling images as a sort of visual listening to the things that inspire us on a daily basis. From fashion to fine art and sculpture….today we are sharing some stunning pieces of jewelry and beadwork that have caught our eye.
These pieces have been particularly important in stimulating designs for everything from rugs to elevator gates in an Art Deco residence that is currently in the works!
