Telling a Story with Collage

I have been having fun playing around with photo collages lately.

I enjoy creating visual combinations that tell a story or give a feel to a piece of my jewelry.

Like the one above...

I took the pictures before I made the necklace but they weren't specifically the inspiration...other than the fact that I am drawn to those colors in general.

It's like making a storyboard and creating a color pallet to build a collection.

I love incorporating my photographs into my jewelry design and this is just an additional way to do that!
