Finding Inspiration

“I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I’d just been myself.” 
~ Brittany Renee

TWILIGHT ~ Inspired Jewelry

If you’re a fan, then you’re already well aware of the fact that Twilight premieres in movie theaters this Friday, November 21st.  The Twilight Saga written by Stephenie Meyer is, without a doubt, one of the most fantastically enthralling series I have ever read in my life.  There’s something MaGiCaL about these stories . . . something that draws you in and doesn’t release you until you have read the final book, the final word and yet, you still desire more.  So, you reread the books again and again in an attempt to feel fulfilled . . . sounds crazy, right?  I thought so too when everyone around me was buzzing about the books.  I was a reluctant reader indeed and now my life has been forever changed.

As a designer, I immediately felt inspired to create jewelry that correlated with each book in the series . . . I have started with earrings, but I have ideas for more . . . I always do!  Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Saga, is one that still leaves me pondering.  I have been puttering around with various design ideas for weeks and still have yet to nail anything down . . . I’ve almost got it, so stay tuned for the big reveal!

If you love somebody, let them go.  If they return, they were always yours.  If they don’t, they never were.”  ~ Unknown

Fire and Ice
“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction of ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
~ Robert Frost
