Every now and then, we like to highlight other blogs we love to read. Cynthia Thornton's blog is one of them!She gets our blog love for her artistic ability but also for the personal accessibility her blog offers--a window into her creative mind. Cynthia's blog showcases family portraits, stories of real life, how-to projects, and her own sources of inspiration. Scattered in the blog are also some of her designs, but the focus is on life and living it to the fullest.
If you are not familiar with Cynthia Thornton and her Green Girl Studios cast metal pieces, then look forward to being delighted. Her detailed hand-cast designs primarily focus on nature, animals, and mystical themes. Some beads are inscribed with inspirational sentiments while others encourage one to dream and love. Although she started casting in resin, her original designs are now cast in fine pewter, silver, and shibuichi.
Here are some of our favorite Green Girl Studio designs:
In addition to being a jewelry maker, Cynthia is also a painter, sculptor, doll maker, wife, mother, and published author. Her talents are vast and beautifully showcased in her new book "Enchanted Adornments". Every page, every technique and project will get you excited about jewelry-making all over again.
