Jewel Tones for Days

Even those of us who lean towards neutrals and toned down color probably have a soft spot for jewel tones. I know I do. Who could ever look at a peacock’s tail and not see its amazing beauty? And the abundance of such rich colors can feel like it’s going overboard but sometimes you want that, like reaching for ambrosia salad rather than the mixed greens. Sometimes you just want to indulge.
Teresa Stepp indulges in a riot of bright, rich colors quite a bit and I am always pleased to come by them online. This pitcher, baroque in its decorative detail, is definitely the sweet, whipped-up version of an artistic salad, but just checking out all the detail is like a journey into some small wonderland.
To see the pitcher from different sides, extending the journey, just click on the image here. To see more of her intricate and colorful pieces, go to her website or Instagram account.
Beautiful Baroque Lynne

I don’t recall why I had dropped in on Lyne Ann Schwarzenberg’s website but it’s quite an opening act. This necklace is on the front page. Well it pretty much is the front page, and why not? For a relatively muted palette, it has tremendous impact. The immaculate execution combined with the bold, almost dangerous looking petals are going to grab your attention whether you are into florals or not.
Take some time to peruse her gallery and see her photos from her trip to Israel–a handful of minutes that will be well-spent.
