Incorporating Color in Your Work

Color In Metalwork

One element I love to see incorporated in metalsmithed jewelry is color.  Why? Well, it just kicks up the design up a notch or two.  One of my fellow members of the ArtFire Metalsmiths guild is a shop called Tekaandzoe

It never fails,  as I am browsing around ArtFire checking out all the great work, I usually come across a piece that makes me go WOW!  I guess you have figured out that piece is usually from this shop.  These earrings make me smile every time I see them.  Who wouldn't want to wear these happy little things on your ear?  Tekaandzoe's work has a modern organic feel.  The colors and color combinations they use are wonderful.  I love the enamelwork - not only does it give metal color, but texture also.  They use color as a design element in conjunction with shape, size and composition.  Work well worth checking out.
