Anita's interview article in Making Jewellery Magazine on sources of inspiration in making jewelry

I was so honored and thrilled to receive a copy of the February 2013 issue of "Making Jewellery" last week and find an article that featured me and my jewelry. "Making Jewellery" magazine is based in the UK. Kira Withers-Jones had interviewed me last fall about what inspires me when I create a new jewelry design. My husband Sy’s photography makes it all come to life in living color. The article involves some text and well as showing pictures of the jewelry piece and pictures of what inspired it.  (Some of the showcased pieces are available at MelodyODesigns at Etsy)

I thought I'd include some of the item/inspiration photos from the article here on my blog as well, so you can see them full size and also show a number of item/inspiration photo pairs that didn't make it into the article because of space constraints.

 I wanted to mention that this week I set up a number of Social Media pages and I'd love to invite you visit them and "Like" or "Friend" or "Whatever" them if you do. I'll do my best to return the favor.
