Color Inspiration - Count on Me

by Kristal Wick
As creators and makers, we see the world differently than other folks. At least that's a conclusion I've come to and my humble 2 cents! Part of our joy as an artist is experiencing other artwork that inspires and moves us. Perhaps, exposure to other art shifts our viewpoint or aesthetic
This was my experience viewing Cave Creek sculpture artist Ryan McCallister's work.

He created a masterpiece called Count On Me that blew me away.

I decided to use it as color inspiration for a jewelry piece.

I loved the color palette for this inspiration and created a resin focal using glitter, crystals, and a butterfly charm symbolizing transformation.

Making the beaded chain was my favorite part!

I incorporated apple jasper rondelles, crystals, and chain to accent the focal piece.

This beaded chain is perfect for using expensive semi-precious beads or crystals since it uses only a few, spaced out with chain for added texture and pop.
Thanks to Ryan for his beautiful creation: ryan@mccallistersculpture.com

Creatively, Kristal
