When I came across Misty Dawn Designs, I was immediately captivated by her gorgeous metalwork! I’m completely fascinated by the way she mixes them to create such unique pieces. Here’s what she had to say about her art:

How did you get started? Natural progression. This addiction of mine started very innocently with a couple of pairs of simple bead earrings. Nothing to flashy or intricate, they were crafted from simple store bought ear wires and head pins in which I added my own combination of beads. From there it evolved into working with gemstone beads and precious metals. But I still was not satisfied; it only took a short time for my jewelry addiction to progress to the use of fire and solder. At this point the sky is the limit!

What’s your inspiration? There is no one thing that inspires me. I get many of my ideas from just living life. Something will catch my eye when I’m out and about and I’ll think; “Wow I could use that shape, color combination, etc. in a piece of jewelry”.

What’s your favorite medium? Sterling Silver. How could I not love a metal that can be bent, twisted, soldered and manipulated in just about every way imaginable? To top that it can be buffed to a mirrored finish, rubbed with an abrasive to create a satin gleam, lightly oxidized to give a rainbow of color anywhere light hits it, or antiqued to a dark gunmetal finish. What more could a designer as for!

Do you do custom items? Yes, I love the challenge of creating the perfect individualized piece.

I’m kind of in love with Misty’s shop! Check out these classy Circle Earrings ($22):
