Sprouting fingers with the Vase Ring

“Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.”  – Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858

Garden of Vase Rings

Imagine this…
An intoxicating perfume wafts from your hand, drawing in eyes from every direction to a beautiful fresh cut flower that sits on your…

…finger?
A gerbera, a chrysanthemum, a rose…

What tickles your fancy? None the matter, as the Vase Ring is the platform for your fickle desires.

The satin brush finish silver base is simply the vessel that houses your expression. The Vase Ring evokes the senses, draws in smiles, catalyses conversations as well as new friendships.
After it’s creation slightly more than a year ago, I’m happily and officially launching the ilanaDesign Vase Rings (see my blog entry on July 16, 2010)! So yes, that means they are now available for you to dress up your fingers!

:-)

And I had a fun photo shoot with Image Outlet, a new photography studio based in East London (www.imageoutlet.co.uk). Emma Job, with her talents, brought my creation to life.

During the shoot it felt like the flowers were actors on a stage, like models working hard under hot lights and it was like a story in itself so I took a few snaps of the photo shoot (please don’t cringe at my lack of photographic talents!) ;-)

So, I wonder, what flower would you wear?
I leave you with a quote by Emma Goldman:

“I’d rather have roses on my finger than diamonds on my neck.”  – Emma Goldman, political activist

Ok so she actually said “I’d rather have roses on my table…”, but I took the liberty of exercising my artistic license. Sorry Emma! But gosh she looks sweet in that Yellow Rose Vase Ring!

Mim Bracelet

The bracelet called ‘Mim Bracelet’ after it’s owner who is an artist, is a bespoke design made of a fusion of brass and silver.

This bracelet funny enough gives me the feeling of tall and thin, and well guess what, the artist Miriam Austin, whom it was made for is elegantly tall and thin!

Her bracelet flows between straight and organic lines in the same way that her own work moves between sculpture, performance, and installation.
