I would love to use these pieces in some new designs I have in mind. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I love Nunn designs! I made a beautiful pearl necklace with a focal leaf design of brass that is awesome, classy, and shiny! I sure would like to own some more!
Love!
This new line Elements of Inspiration is very enchanting! I can look and see things that remind of vintage jewelry. and a few minutes later, the very same findings can inspire me to something totally new, totally different. These are very unique items, a pleasure to design with and to wear!
During this time of year, I’m inspired by being outside in a forest, covered in snow. There isn’t a sound but the soughing of the breeze through the pines. Just enough breeze to release the frost and snow from the branches so that they float down onto your upturned face. They sparkle in the sun like a million rainbows.
As i am new to jewelry making…my biggest inspiration has been other jewelry artists. I love jewelry with up lifting colors or a nice simple message….whenever i see jewelry of that kind i get inspired to make something similar myself. Also beadwork magazines are my biggest inpiration to create and learn.
I’m inspired by the people I want to create for.
My inspiration is the people I’m making things for!
Thinking of each person on my gift list inspires me to make something of value for them ~ using my time and skills to treat them to something special!
Joyful blessings…….~Sandie
My friends and family inspire me to create beautiful gifts. Knowing that each one, special in their own ways, have differents styles and personalities. With each one I create something that will fit them. Wether it’s the friend that truly is an angel in disguise, or family member with a spicy fun loving attitude, I can find the little extra that lets them know how much they mean to me and how broad a spectrum they beautifully color my life.

My inspiration comes from classic Italian shapes and textures and colors. These items give me the
tools to bring my designs to life. I am so glad I have discovered them. Thank you for the beautiful items to work with.
i get inspired by all sorts of things – people. experiences, holidays, weather, feelings – just depends on what’s going on with me
When I am making gifts for somebody-I tend to think about what their personalities are like-I also pay close attention to what kind of jewelry they usually wear-bold, or more subdued–what kind of colors they like to wear-their coloring, etc. 🙂 I would love to win this-oh the fun I could have!! 🙂
I love the season because of the snow and the changing colors of the leaves on the trees. I also want to thank GOD for giving us this great earth.
This is the time of year I make gifts for the gals in my family. I’m inspired by the colors and styles I know they like and the fact that they always appreciate – and wear – the jewelry I give them.
This year I’ve gone completely retro with lots of glam…bright colors such as vivid red, sky blue…lots of crystals. I would love to try your products.
the chaging of the seasons inspire me. every change brings new ideas. It gives me the opportunity to play with color and texture…. and it’s so much fun!!!!!!
I like to go into stores and look at the styles of ornaments and wrapping paper to inspire all my winter/choliday crafts.
I’m inspired by the rich jewel tone colors that are popular during the fall and winter months, and by the beauty of a winter scene. I love the contrasting textures of soft glittering snow and rough bare branches against a cerulean blue winter sky.
Awesome, thanks for the chance! Happy Thanksgiving! : )
I’m inspired by those tiny perfect moments throughout the season – the bright big toothless grin on my friend’s baby girl when she sees me come in the door, the pure sparkle of individual snowflakes on a sheet of undisturbed white after a fresh snow, the glint of light off an ornament, the taste of eggnog, the smell of stuffing, a hug from a friend. (And now by those gorgeous pieces, off to look in the shop!!!)
Really trying to get bolder with color and design lately.
The feeling of the holidays and how joyful everyone seems to be inspires me
I am inspired by anything that makes you look twice,.. or three times. Something that is unusual, that you really have to examine to figure out what it used to be, or could be used for. Oh,.. and shiny things,.. yup. Shiny things.
I just started this hobby/hope to become a business venture of jewelry making and what inspires me to make them is the magic of having simple things turn to elegant work of art – truly amazing!
My family inspires me most. Each item I make is usually tailored to that individuals taste or fashion. I don’t think I’ve ever made anything for myself.. heh
the lights, the music, the colors, of the season these inspire me !!!! that and my customers..they describe what they are looking for and I make it up!!!
Im so interested in the 16th century, with its elaborate, gems-encrusted jewelry. And pearls! Every piece, or nearly so, used masses of pearls. I can’t wait to get started on my 2012 designs, and they will reflect the mid-1500s era. –Rykki Swenson
I have been enjoying the traditional red and green mix sparkling with silvers and golds, I like to include a mix of whites like the snow.
There are also a few favorite wrapping papers I have saved over the years(loving the patterns, colors or styles), that could provide inspiration!
I rarely make Christmas-themed items, but the idea of glamming it up for parties, especially New Years Eve, inspires many of my designs.
Love your pieces! Would love to use one of the pieces/componets in my designs…..Cheers!
The colors of the season, the lights, the glitter…
I love your designs and think that they would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s jewelry pieces.
Health effects of gemstones inspire me to give jewelry to address a health concern.
My inspiration comes from God, family,friends and fun.
Faceted stone sparkle, the shine of bright silver, jewel tones, and the warm tones of golden metals inspire my holiday designs.
Faceted stone sparkle, the shine of bright silver, jewel tones, and warm tones of antique golden inspire my holiday designs.
I’m always inspired by vintage, classy, timeless looks and Nunn designs are so perfect for that kind of look!
I am inspired by love, quite simply. Love for the people I think about while creating, love for my life, family and friends, and love of beautiful baubles and components to include in my jewelery designs.
The snow, the clear blue sky that looks like it is about to chip from being so cold and the beautiful sun that briefly makes it’s way across the sky.
I am inspired by the color and the antique appearance of the pieces, I have lots of ideas for those pieces using some of them on my greeting cards.
Gift giving and good memories inspire my designs this holiday season.
Love Nunn Design products!
My daughter flies home from BC for Xmas and is an amazing artist, so she inspires me to try new designs and vice versa, Just having her home is a huge plus and I think the laughter and happiness brings out creativity.
I live the cool weather and just the excitement of the holidays!! Fall colors, cool blues and whites of the season, and definitely all the sparkle!!! Love to make pieces that make people smile!!!
Hope for cold weather(in Texas) the warmth of family and being with them on the holidays is what is inspiring me this year. Along with my grandmas pieces of jewelry and the up scaling I can do with the vintage pieces! Yay!
For some reason I am attracted to bright shiny glass and lampwork beads, as well as nature themed artistic beads. I continue to have fun working with mixed media and resin 🙂
What inspires my designs this holiday season? Well … nature! I tend to look to organic shapes/designs in things such as snowflakes and bare trees for inspiration. 😀 My color choices tend to go from warm reds, oranges and yellows to cool greens, blues and silvers as well, just in time for the season.
Love the colors of the changing leaves – even here in Southern California!
I’m inspired to make jewelry gifts for the people I love this holiday season.
As a composer, lyricist, performer, the fulfilling aspects of creating something unique, beautiful and one-of-a-kind that also brings pure joy and inspiration to others is transfered during the holiday season into my jewelry making. It’s the creating and giving time of year!
