Inspiration....Part 2

BTW....Here's a few new Renee Blackwell Design pieces to enjoy....



“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”
Karen Ravn

Inspiration...Everywhere I look!

I am often asked where my inspiration comes from for my jewellery designs. The easy answer is "all around me...in my daily life and travels"...and the harder or more truthful answer is to delve deeper into the easy answer!

For example, when I say..."all around me and in my daily life" what I mean is the vast beauty of our 50 acre property in the southeast hinterland of the Sunshine coast of Queensland. Stunning. Remarkable. Living with and amongst nature 24/7. Yes, this means snakes, but I share my home with so many other animals-birds, turtles, platypus, bush turkeys, large and small lizards, bats, kangaroos and wallabies and so much more. Not once in awhile, but every single day.


I also have the beauty of the trees, bush's plants and flowers. Changing daily and moment by moment. A flower that was closed tight in the morning, might be half open when I walk down for lunch and by late afternoon open in it's full glory. Inspirational?...you bet!

And then their is my traveling life. As a part of my jewellery business, Renee Blackwell Design I travel ALOT! I love and cherish this part of my life, meeting new people, seeing new places and simply taking it all in...

So here's a question to ponder today...Who or what inspires you...to make you a better person, to open your eyes and heart or just give a different outlook on life? I would love to hear from you...

Flowers of Bali....

Of the many things I could write about my last 10 days on the sublime Indonesian Island of Bali, I choose to share a few of my favorite flower shots. Party for the colour, and partly because each time I look at these pictures, a happy smile appears on my face. These flowers are gems of the earth, or perhaps a reflection of the very soul of Mother Earth. I invite you to spend a moment in peace as your eyes feast on the colours, soaking up in your minds eye the stunning and overwhelming beauty of Bali.

Note:

I blog regularly on Fridays (Aussie-Time)…only missing when traveling. Once in a blue moon I will do a “tweenie” posting, blogging in-between Fridays. But for regular followers, check in on Fridays, and don't forget to pass this blog along to others who might enjoy.....Adornments of the Soul.
