It's cold but Inspiration never quits!

Hi everyone! First I want to let you know that I am now a proud member of a juried group - The Etsy Wedding Team! I can't tell you how happy that makes me as I have joined a group of wonderful wedding artists out there with so much talent and have many beautiful things to offer!  

Next I want to show you my latest project i'm working on and the inspiration it has come from:

I love the crystals on this dress!  Just a sea of crystal:

 Here is a velvet crystal cuff I made custom (to her wrist size) to sparkle with her beaded dress for her dusk wedding. It clasps from under the crystals:

 

It's a heavy encrusted velvet band that will be lovely on her special day!

Now, here's a new item I am listing in my etsy shop:

This is simply beautiful in the light! Again, it is a swiss velvet wrist cuff with a double satin tie. The tie hangs down and can be beaded at the end with Swarovski crystals as an extra touch. It feels wonderful wrapped around the wrist and shines for a day or evening wedding! When holding your flowers this will just draw so much attention and dazzle the guests! See my etsy store for this piece!

I will be making more of these cuffs for the BEACH BRIDE too!

Favorite ETSY find of the day!!

Please stop by and visit me. Over the holidays I have been creating new pieces and will be putting the finishing touches on. My Etsy postings will be soon and I'll let you know.

Now, no relation to me, I found this morning the most beautiful hand bags fit for a queen! This is by Leigh-Ann Kline. Visit her shop and see the rest of her delicious creations! http://leighannkline.etsy.com

Here is my favorite thus far: (though there are many):

The ALESSANDRA IN PINK - I could just see the bride or entire bridal party carrying this down the aisle and off to a beautiful reception full of pale roses!  I hope you take time to visit her etsy store!

Have a wonderful second day of 2009 - It certainly will be better than the last!

Lacroix Inspiration and Favorite Etsy find of the Day!

I woke up this morning, yes, with Christain Lacroix on the brain. So enjoy my post of the day as well as my favorite Etsy find!

I ADORE his sketches and often get his book out for inspiration! Here are a few:

And ofcourse, he always enhances the neck!

His bridal gown is fit for a queen!

Here are a few of my sketches I did while watching ELIZABETH 1. I was enamored with Kat's green dress and Elizabeth's red dress while giving her speech to the bishops.

 

Inspiration of the Day!

Merry merry christmas! It's cold and rainy here today...perfect for wrapping gifts, staying in and drinking eggnog. One of my most favorite things are watercolor paintings of interiors. I found an article this morning in the dec. issue of Veranda magazine of an exhibit at Cooper-Hewitt's museum in NY of "Nineteenth century watercolor interiors from the Thaw Collection" and I have posted some of my favorites here today...The very first paragraph is intriguing to me and I would love to create and have the same...

Basically, it was a pastime to do portraits of home interiors (or have them commissioned) in watercolor and then placed in tooled leather bound albums during the 19th century. Queen Victoria and Albert were notorious for this practice. Wouldn't you love to have such books? I say, get out your sketch books, colored pencils/watercolors and have a go at it. Mine in the past have been "doodles" but maybe I'll try and be a bit more serious and create my own leatherbound interior watercolor book! 

Here are my favorites!

And a few of my own silly sketches... 

New etsy bridal jewelry coming soon! I'll let you know. Happy holidays!! 

Inspiration Day!

http://kimberlyklinedesign.etsy.com

I picked up the new copy of BRIDES magazine today- WOW!  It was a great-grey, snowy day for sketching out new ideas to execute and put in my new ETSY store. Sometimes I have so many concepts that hit me all at once - it hurts my head! But, I take my time and sketch. Sometimes right on the brides in the magazines! Reminds me of when we used to make glasses and mustaches on the pretty people in other mags. Now I'm using that talent as a designer. How funny. 

The snow is beautiful, coming down steady and sticking to the trees. Hmmm....all those sparkles!

 

It's Etsy Launch Day!!

Hi everyone! I just put my first three velvet beaded chokers on my new Etsy shop and am very excited!! My best friend Jane and the great photographer Brian Wilson (listed at the right) had such a fun time taking some of these shots! As you can see.... Please visit http://kimberlyklinedesign.etsy.com as soon as you can and give me some feedback!  

It's Day Two!

• Day two of my blogging and today I just want to update you on what's to come! I have completed two more Beach Bride Velvet chokers and I'm so excited about them! My friend Brian will be taking professional photos tomorrow evening and I should be posting them by Monday morning! Check out his blog link I have here. He's the best.

• It's been cold and blustery here in my small mountain town. I dream of pale blue water and white beaches every day! 

Finally!!

After 10 months of having this lovely blog I am finally getting on the blog track. I want to show my creations (also found on etsy) as well as let everyone in on what motivates me to do certain themes - thus "where inspiration is revealed"  Enjoy!

Perfect for a beach wedding! Fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass, Swiss Velvet and a corset back.
