THE BEADING GEM'S JOURNAL

Garden Inspirations by Purple Lily Designs

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 04:00 AM PDT

I first came across Purple Lily Designs when Joanne Ortiz started following me on Twitter. She is one half of a jewelry design partnership with Angel, the love of her life, where together, they come up with quite an array of gorgeous designs. He is an accomplished wire artisan and she specializes in lamp work and polymer clay beads.

This dynamic duo's work have been featured in a number of jewelry magazines. I particularly loved their use of dragonflies with the wire work and beautiful lamp work beads - some of which have been photographed with flowers. Very inspiring on several levels!

Purple Lily Designs is also on Etsy.
