A Jewelry Project Runway?

by Cyndi on February 8th, 2008

I just noticed that Tammy posted about this idea last year…I still think it’s a really good idea :-)

What do you think? Should there be a separate Project Runway for jewelry designers, or should they be included in the regular show?

    Wouldn’t that be fun? Maybe we should have our own JPR when this current season is over. I could host it here on the blog…and we could have weekly challenges and polls for voting :-)

    Will you be in the competition if we have a mock one here on Jewelry & Beading? I’m sure I could get prizes for it.

    I’m afraid I am not much of a designer (I’m a photographer) but my neighbor, she is really good. I can get her to participate!!!! yay!!!

    I really think we need to do this. We can each show maybe three work-in-progress shots and a final shot of the finished piece, and then have a poll for judging :-)

    Its actually a pretty good idea - if we don’t have to model our work… I am not runway material. I have often looked for inspirational sites on the net - and cruise jewelry sites (I have a difficult time finding the kind of sites I want to look at … fine jewelry bores me.).. I don’t know about you all but I look through magazines, books & catalogs for what I like - ideas in color, problem solving in design, fashion ideas (what’s popular.) and basic style challenges ( what do other people do with stone donuts? What colors seem to go with Hematite? sort of thing)… I gather catalog pics and past them in a book… when I want to create something I look back at it all and choose - I never follow a book/design exactly, I use it as a starting point. I also do a lot of experimenting - starting with a problem and then try things of my own until I get what I like Seeing other people’s work stimulates my own creativity and makes me think about what is possible.

    Oh heck no! We don’t have to model it ourselves :-) LOL!!

    I keep an inspiration folder too. Sometimes when I need a kick start, I just leaf through it until an idea starts to form.
