Different: Koen Hauser's Amethyst

I know it's been more than a month since I've posted any finds on here, but I need to come back!! I have too many things I want to share, I just need to make a habit of it!!

I came across the artist, Koen Hauser's work appropriately titled Amethyst, and just had to share. Check out his website, for a lot more fantastic photography, manipulations, and art. Very inspiring and definitely different! Here are some stills and then the film itself! Enjoy!

Trend: Art and Fashion Using Raw Crystals and Gemstones

This is a trend I am loving right now. I used to have a crazy rock collection when I was younger and my favorites were always the crystals, geodes, and agate slices. What can I say I love shiny things! And the colors of course.

 This trend of using gorgeous raw minerals such as this, is blowing up with handmade jewelry makers, but it's also hitting high fashion status with Chanel's runway stage.

Besides the stage being littered with stalactite crystals, the accessories were also encrusted with raw jewels. 

So do you love it already? 

Heres some art and other fun finds that use raw minerals. Add some sparkle to your life!

Wanted to give a quick jewelry update. I just posted a few necklaces on my etsy site.

What I really wanted to share was my "inspiration board" that I made. I wanted to show a small glimpse of the chaos that is my mind and what goes through my head when I make something. Just for fun :) And then the finished products. Hope you like!

And heres just a couple more photos that I couldn't fit in there, but are also pretty cool. I'm not quite sure of all the sources, because most of these I found just browsing diferent sites and also on tumblr.

And heres what I made:

And thats all I have for today! Til next time! Hope you're inspired!
