Inspiration

Dramatic Teal and purple beaded necklaceWhile I was at work the other day a women had come into the shop with the most beautiful/ unusual necklace on I think I had ever seen! As I got talking to her she showed me a bracelet that she had  which matched the necklace. She told me that she was called Leigh Patterson and that she had made the jewellery herself, she explained that it had just started out as a hobby but she now sells some of her pieces on the Internet, although every piece is one off I imagine that there will be some disappointed people if they don't get to it first. The more that I talked to Leigh she told me that she is constantly finding new environmentally friendly materials to use.
 I think the large beads used are absolutely beautiful and all very inspirational, as I would love to be able to incorporate it into a garment or bag ect as I feel it would make the most unique piece of embellishment. I really love the fine detail that Leigh has put into every little part of the jewellery and I find the colours used so interesting and definatly eye catching.
