How To Draw Accessories in Fashion Illustration

How To Draw Accessories in Fashion Illustration<br /><br />For anyone who is involved in fashion, the easiest way to present clothes, accessories and themes would be to draw them as fashion illustrations. Fashion illustrations are usually commissioned to magazines and fashion school as a part of learning for school and for advertising magazines. Clothes and hair are not the only things you would find in fashion illustrations. Accessories like bags, hats and jewelry play a big part in the total look of the drawing. In order to complete your fashion illustrations, read on and learn how to draw them:<br /><br />Find or draw the perfect pose for a specific purpose. Poses have a specific purpose. You have to take note what time, era or kind of clothes the figure should have for example, a woman in the 1920s should be standing more elegantly than a woman in the 2000s.<br /><br />Choose the proper accessories. Since accessories complete the look, you should figure out what kind of motif your illustration is trying to sell. If the figure wears dressy shorts and flowing top, you cant accessorize it with a winter hat.<br /><br />Here are some themes that can dictate your accessories:<br /><br />If your illustration is wearing shorts, tanks, and flipflops, the fashion should be at a beach, a summer trip or a sleepover.<br /><br />If your illustration is wearing a gown or any long or short dressy fashion, the illustration is most likely hitting the club or at a high society party.<br /><br />If your illustration is wearing a suit or corporate attire, the figure can be tagged as an office staff or manager and it can even be a salesman or someone going to court.<br /><br />Start with the bags and shoes. Depending on the position of the figures arms, hands and feet, draw a square between her arms so it will look like shes clutching a purse. Draw a bigger square to give her a bigger hand bag. You may draw lines extending on the shoulders and a small square at the ends of the lines to draw a shoulder bag. Be sure the bags correspond to the hands and arms of the figure or it will look distorted.<br /><br />Shoes will depend on the look of the dress. Draw curve lines at the bottom of her feet curving it more near the heels. Heels are appropriate for dressy outfits only. For more casual motifs, you can draw flipflops which are so easy to draw. Follow the curves of the feet and draw two intersecting lines on top of the feet there you have it, flipflops!<br /><br />Follow it up with jewelry. Jewelry can be bangles, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and watches. For bracelets, watches and bangles, all you need to do would be to draw circles around the figures wrists and add some details. For earrings, your figure should have exposed ears but if youre using dangling or ring ones, you can still draw them behind the hair. Be sure you know approximately where the ears are supposed to be.<br /><br />Remember that fashion illustrations are like story boards that you show to your clients. Be sure that you are furnishing your figures with all the right accessories. Add colors, if you prefer, and some backdrop as well to give your illustrations an edge. Good luck!

For something truly exceptional, heavier and wider, the Redwoods style ring is cast in 14K red gold and varies in width from 6 8mm.

The Tree Bark Love Knot ring has the look of natural tree bark and features a diamond inset into a wood knot in the bark like finish. Truly an exceptional, organic design. The ring may be ordered in one of several metal choices in a variety of finishes.<br /><br />Simple and Understated Organic Rings for MenFor something elegantly simple and understated, Cyrs silky smooth Subtlety ring, featuring what Cyr describes as a hint of organic softness is available in 14K and 18K gold, sterling, and palladium white gold. The hammered version of the Subtlety ring, called Love Rocks, is hammered from ring blanks cast by Cyr herself, producing thicker rings, with softer edges and no solder seams, according to the website.

For $5 plus shipping, Cyr will send you a ring sizer kit to ensure you get it right the first time.<br /><br />Historically Inspired Mens RingsHighly respected Pennsylvania jewelry artist Jim Meyer takes inspiration from ancient history and his travels and time spent in Greece, Italy, India and Japan. I attempt to convey a sense of history and architecture in my pieces, reads the testimonial on his website, James Meyer Jewelry.<br /><br />To that end, Meyer uses the ancient lost wax method of making jewelery. After the design process, Meyer hand fashions a true size wax model for his piece, then, makes a plaster mold around the wax model. The plaster mold and wax model are heated until the wax burns away. Then, melted metal is poured into the mold to create the final piece. When the molten metal is cooled and hardened, the plaster cast is destroyed and the metal piece must be scrupulously cleaned, abraded and polished. This is an extremely time consuming process. Because both model and mold are destroyed during the process, each heirloom quality jewelry piece is one of a kind.<br /><br />Also, Meyer uses the direct metal method to hammer and hand shape his work. Other metals, wrapped and bezeled, as well as beautiful gemstones may be added to the final piece. Many featured gemstones are cut and polished old style as cabochons, as well as flat faceted. Meyer secures gemstones using labor intensive, time honored, bezel and gypsy settings where the the entire circumference of each stone is surrounded by metal as opposed to the modern, less skill required prong set method.<br /><br />Timeless Ring Design Good Enough for Smithsonian CollectionMeyers beautiful hand worked pieces are divinely simple, classically elegant, and absolutely timeless in design. His skill and design are so highly regarded that some of Meyers pieces have earned their place in The Smithsonian Institutes permanent collection.<br /><br />Although Meyer shows many rings on his site, he writes under the Wedding Bands section, I have no made up stock to sell. As with many of my one of a kind pieces, I consult with the customer about the style, metals and stones to be used. His gorgeous finished ring photos feature plenty to inspire your very own James Meyer ring.<br /><br />James Meyer Protegs Offer Meyer style Fine JewelryUnfortunately, as this article was being published, Jim Meyer emailed and explained that he was going to be making a limited amount of jewelry for the foreseeable future in order to pursue other endeavors, such as printmaking and furniture making. So for now, consumers looking for an iconic Meyer piece may not be able to find one.<br /><br />However, the good news is that Jims son, Caleb Meyer, follows in the style of his father and fashions a full line of one of a kind fine jewelry pieces, including handcrafted wedding rings and wedding ring sets, gemstone rings, and 18K gold mens signet rings ready for personal engravings.<br /><br />Also, jewelry artist Ann McKay, who used to work with Meyer, offers fine jewelry in the Meyer style. For men, McKay offers a line of wedding bands and bridal sets.

Anyways, I started looking around for something that I would actually wear and ran across this shop on Etsy that sells all sorts of jewelry related to infertility. Some of them include gems or charms that are supposed to help with certain fertility related issues, some give luck, or peace or emotional balance. Anyone here give something like this a try?<br /><br />I just ordered the Kokopelli pendant with an amethyst and rose quartz gems. I cant wait to get it!<br /><br />Darcy Thats so funny that you ran across the same site! I just read a little more about her and she actually struggled with infertility herself before conceiving her twins She made her first bracelet for herself! And the prices seem really reasonable.<br /><br />Brandi Thats a neat tradition!<br /><br />Sally I really wanted a kokopelli just because thats what my doctor recommended. My DH is also from Albuquerque and they are really popular there. I chose the Amethist gem because its my birthstone and also would be our babys birthstone if we got preggo this cycle. Then I picked the rose quartz because I liked what it said it helped with. Im a pretty high strung worrier and I feel like Ive finally reached a place in the process where I just have to stop! I cant keep living my life so stressed over this so Im hoping the necklace will be a constant reminder to give me peace. I dont think you can go wrong! Just pick something that gives you peace.

Etsy Interview with Silver River Jewelry

Etsy Interview with Silver River Jewelry<br /><br />First off, tell me a little bit about yourself. Well I am 44 years old, married and have two children who are almost grown. We have 2 Australian Shepherds, 2 cats, a snake and a lizard. I love the outdoors, gardening and being on the water. I also love making jewelry and glass beads, thus Silver River Jewelry was born!<br /><br />How and when did you start making jewelry and your other items?<br /><br />I have always done lots of crafting, from crocheting to ceramics. I also sketch and draw and do the occasional cross stitch. My daughter, who was 13 at the time, had expressed an interest in a jewelry making kit for her birthday. After about 2 months she decided she really wasnt interested and put it away. I came across it one night and sat in bed watching tv and made 6 pairs of earrings and a necklace. I was totally hooked from that point on lol.<br /><br />From there, I learned lapidary making stone cabs, metal smithing and most recently lampwork glass beads. This allows me to make 90% of the components that go into my jewelry for a truly handmade piece. And the metal etching is all original artwork drawn by me also. I started making so much of it I had to find an outlet for it all so Silver River Jewelry was born.<br /><br />When and how did you originally find Etsy?<br /><br />I started on Etsy in 2007, a friend of a friend from Canada no less told me about it and after several mentions by her I went and checked it out.<br /><br />What is unique about Etsy and what about the website do you like the most in regards to your shop?<br /><br />Etsy is unique in the fact that it is one of the first sites specifically created for the handmade market that doesnt involve auctions and mass selling of items other than handmade. I like the clean look and how the shop is made to focus on the items the seller has.<br /><br />What inspires you the most in regards to your creations?<br /><br />Just about anything can be an inspiration. Mostly though, colors, and nature. I do have a piece in my Silver River Jewelry shop that was inspired by a piece of art on a restaurant wall, so inspiration can really come from anywhere.<br /><br />What is your favorite piece youve created and why?<br /><br />Hmm thats a tough one, I really like most of what I make. I think right now its my Hand Etched Heart Pendant with Handmade Lampwork Bead. This particular piece uses several different handmade techniques metal smithing, etching, lampwork bead making as well as bead weaving.<br /><br />What do you want to accomplish with your online shop?<br /><br />I would like to one day be able to quit my day job and do this for a living. In the meantime, I am able to share my creations and continue to do make the things that I love to make.<br /><br />Do you have any new creations in the works? If so, what can shoppers expect to see from you soon?<br /><br />I will have new jewelry posted soon, that include some wire wrapping, some more jewelry with my original lampwork, and also some more ethced and beaded pendants.<br /><br />Where can readers find out about more information regarding your jewelry and other creations and possible special offers including additional websites, blogs, facebook, etc?<br /><br />Published by Rachel B.<br /><br />Rachel B. is a college student from the Midwest with a passion for political and local issues.

CreateBold Bracelets With Hardware Store Findings

Create 3 Bold Bracelets With Hardware Store Findings<br /><br />I got excited at the thought of making bracelets out of stuff from a hardware store. I love hammers and saws and all those little metal things you find while exploring each aisle. When I was growing up, my dads home projects meant frequent supply runs. That was usually a guy thing, but sometimes he let me tag along. Ive been a nuts and bolts girl ever since, which made it easy and fun to create bracelets that say Im nuts over you. I shopped for bracelet parts at my usual hardware store. Its big enough to have a good selection but small enough so I dont get lost. I found what I needed in a single aisle: little drawers of nuts and washers on one side, wire on the other. I got excited and spent way too much on findings; but you dont have to. Even if you buy wire, 10 dollars should cover the cost of supplies for several bracelets. Once you get the hang of it, you can make one in about 30 minutes. Your tween can make them with a little help from mom or dad.<br /><br />Wire cuttersWire, washers and nuts make these bracelets bold and distinctive. Theyre easy once you learn to make simple figure 8s. See Wire Jewelry Making: What Can You Do with a Figure 8? to learn the technique. Then lay out your pieces and connect them together.<br /><br />1 Copper figure 8 bracelet<br /><br />Make an super easy bracelet with just figure 8s made with 16 gauge copper wire from a hardware store. See Make a Wire Bracelet Even a Grandma Could Love for quick and easy instructions. The tutorial also has instructions for a shepherds hook clasp.<br /><br />2 Chrome and copper bracelet<br /><br />Use 7 chrome plated 2 CM washers slightly more than 3/4 inch. Make 15 figure 8s. For a different look flatten the wire first, then cut it into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces. Use 2 figure 8s to connect each washer. Finish one end with a Shepherds hook clasp and the other with a single figure 8 for fastening. 3 Blackened steel and chrome bracelet<br /><br />Use 20 gauge blackened steel instead of copper. Add a large single washer for a bold focal point. Connect the Big washer with two 2 and 1/2 inch pieces of wire.<br /><br />1 inch down on your wire, curve it into a wrapped loop around the big washer. See illustration<br /><br />Add a nut then create another wrapped loop to hold it in place.<br /><br />Complete your bracelet by connecting your washers and a clasp.<br /><br />Now that youve got the basic technique, get creative with your hardware inspired bracelets. Add a few simple touches to make them personal.<br /><br />Experiment with a mix of washers and wire in chrome, brass, copper and blackened steel. Add free form wire shapes.<br /><br />Try adding a few wire hearts. See Handcrafted Jewelry: Simple Hearts Wire Earrings to learn how to create them.

Citrine Crystal Healing

Citrine Crystal Healing<br /><br />Sometimes known as the merchants stone, citrine crystal is believed to bring wealth, abundance, and positive energy. Ruled by the lucky planet, Jupiter, and reminiscent of the golden, generous sun, citrine healing stones are meant to instill happiness, joy, and goodness. They also have powerful purifying and revitalizing properties, making citrine crystal an ideal stone for anyone utilizing the beneficial energy of crystals.<br /><br />The General Properties of Citrine CrystalCitrine is a variety of quartz crystal, which like amethyst, gains its color from small amounts of iron. Golden yellow to brownish amber, this stone is rare in its natural form. It can be found in Russia, Madagascar, Brazil, France, Britain, and the United States. Synthetic citrine is made from heat treated amethyst.<br /><br />Citrine healing properties revolve around its sunlight qualities. Like the sun, it energizes and encourages. Wearing citrine jewelry is like having a positive force around, inspiring confidence and goodwill. It is also an overall cleansing stone, helping to purify not only the physical body, but the subtle bodies as well, bringing balance and connection with higher realms. Citrine crystal is also uniquely valuable in that it does not require routine crystal cleaning beyond an initial purification. Citrine takes negative energy, transmutes, dissipates it, and grounds it.<br /><br />Citrine Healing Properties for the Mind and PsycheCitrine crystal has an intensely positive effect on the psyche and ones emotional outlook. This is the stone to use to help transform anger and negative emotions into positive ones. Through its cleansing energy, it releases darker feelings, tendencies, and thoughts, while at the same time bringing an awareness of divine energy through its ability to open the crown chakra. Wearing a citrine pendant or ring can allow one to go with the flow of life, and enjoy doing it.<br /><br />When trying to unravel problems, particularly those that deal with family relationships, the presence of citrine can be helpful. This healing stone promotes concentration, and an inspired, creative thought process, able to use the connection with the higher mind to deal with issues. It also helps to dissipate feelings of fear, anger, and the weight of responsibility.<br /><br />Citrine Healing Properties for the BodyFor the physical body, citrine is an ideal healing crystal to energize and revitalize. It instills a sense of vigor and motivation that can greatly help people facing lethargy, depression, and fatigue. It also helps to strengthen people who are physically sensitive to the environment.<br /><br />Using a citrine crystal for its healing properties is known to cleanse the blood and increase circulation; this effect in itself will greatly improve overall well being. This stone is also believed to reverse degenerative diseases. Through stimulation, it can be used for constipation, for getting rid of cellulite, and for kidney and bladder infections. It also stimulates digestion. Using crystals for healing is a great way to enhance health, but always consult a health care practitioner in cases of serious illness.<br /><br />Citrine Crystal as the Merchants StoneOne of the unique properties of citrine is its ability to increase wealth and success. If used selfishly, this crystal will never work; but, with an open, generous heart which citrine encourages it can teach how to energetically attract abundance. One way to use citrine in this way is to take a crystal, preferably a citrine geode, and place it in the wealth corner. The wealth corner is the farthest left corner at the back of a house, or of a room. A citrine geode will draw in abundant energy, bringing this positive force into the house and keeping it there.<br /><br />Caring for Citrine Stones and JewelryCitrine stones can be stored in a velvet or silk pouch with other stones. A crystal should be cleansed when first received, but citrine naturally cleanses itself after that. Citrine stones and jewelry will fade in sunlight so be wary of excessive exposure. When wearing citrine jewelry for the healing properties, be sure that the crystal is in contact with the skin. A pendant hanging over the throat, or a ring are the best choices.<br /><br />A citrine crystal, inherently positive and pure, is a perfect stone for someone just beginning to use crystals and gemstones for healing.
