  Finding fresh inspiration can sometimes be a challenge when your job is creating pieces that sell on the daily.  Sometimes I find myself caught up in creating what sells and getting out of making new designs.  These times don't last long as I easily get bored with similarity.  There's nothing more exciting to me than coming up with something new.  I cannot wait to get those pieces on my table for sale at Pike Place Market to see what the public thinks of my new idea!  I get the best feedback from the people traveling through, whether they like the new design or sometimes seem to not even notice it. Over the last ten years of having my business in Seattle, I have realized the best sellers are always the pieces I enjoy and love the most.  Almost as if I'm selling my love for creating, to me an amazing feeling!  My latest inspirations include hand worked titanium cuffs and earrings and some very uniquely sculpted fine silver. As always, each piece is one of a kind in its uniqueness. You can always see my most recent work at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Wa seven days a week. My website is another place to see my ever evolving work OrganicLoveDesigns.com. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and I hope you get a chance to check out what I'm writing about!

Walks on the beach. Always an inspiring venture for me. I find myself looking down so much, after a while I'm forced to look above and stretch my neck. You will often find me at the beach. Surfing, beach combing or just sitting, taking in the sights and the sounds. The ocean is a place where I can slow down and re-center my focus.  

I find a lot of inspiration for my work in nature. The texture of the waves, the color of the sky, the stones I find along the way. All these things fuel my creative process. Being in nature allows my mind to slow from day to day life to see life's deep beauty, inspiring and freeing. Lately I use beach stones I collect on my walks, I carefuly choose some precious stones then take them back to my shop and embed them with semi-precious and precious gemstones. I love the contrast of nature polished and man polished together. Something unique like all of us. Nature built, polished by man.
