Finding inspiration for my jewelry

I love Southwest pottery. Especially I inspired by the Acoma people of New Mexico pots that are simple in shape and boldly patterned, always based on white clay slip and often in a red and black palette.
That’s why I decided to make a peace of jewelry “Nature Inspired” simple, with four- color palette( black, cream, brown and grey) and bold abstract patterns.
This necklace looks amazing at winter time with the blacks and grays; summer and spring with the cream, white and grey blue colors; fall with earth tones.

The Painted Sheep.
One summer day, after visiting inspiring farm, I fell in love with the sheep, they so cute! Immediately I started painting in my mind.
Couple months later, like a recurring dream, the idea of a sheep painting once again occupied my thoughts. I would like to show, how playful and together elegant sheep are.
Firs I work out several ideas in a number of sketches like this one. I play with composition and color. Then I enlarge it on a piece of tracing paper. After working out all the elements on the tracing paper, drawing and redrawing parts until I am satisfied they will work, I trace the drawing on to a larger piece of watercolor paper.
In this painting I used blue, blue greens, orange, red orange, ochre, burnt sienna, burnt umber.
I imagine this painting in elegant room, with light blue green, tan, sand or light peachy walls, red orange sofa with playful blue, green pillows. Chinese coffee table and elegant light wood chairs.
