Historical inspiration

I get a lot of my creative inspiration from history. Whether it be cameo pendants, antiqued-gold charms, or retro print fabric, most of my designs have been inspired by the past. Yesterday, my boyfriend and I took my nephew to Shiloh National Military Park, which is the location of a Civil War battle. Scattered around the grounds are cannons, monuments, and the famous "Bloody Pond." While walking around one of the battlefields, I found this cannon. I absolutely love the color of the cannon, and found it intriguing that something so dangerous could be so inspiring.

Isn't it cool? If you haven't visited Shiloh and you live nearby, you should check it out. I'm no history buff, but it is a really neat place.

New new new!

I was recently chosen for a Heartsy feature that will take place sometime this week. I have been crafting like crazy in preparation and thought I'd share some of my new designs!

All of these designs (plus many, many more!) can be found in my Etsy shop!

Thanks for looking!

Custom order

I love custom orders! Some days I'm not feeling very creative and I need some direction. Custom orders definitely help with directing me! This week I received a custom order for fabric flower shoe clips for a bride. Her main color is purple, so I made sure to include some really fabulous purple paisley in her flowers. It also inspired me to branch out and start creating more shoe clips. I can't wait to list them on Etsy!

Anyway, here is the finished result of my custom order!

If you are interested in shoe clips or a custom order, feel free to email me at jewelryaccordingtoshe@gmail.com or just leave a comment! :)
