Putting a price on Art

Being an Artist it is some times hard to put a price on your creativity. I had to step back and take a look at my Art with different eyes.

I do very unique designs with detailed work and clean lines. A lot of thought goes into each piece, from the theme, colors, textures and all the hours put into just one necklace. I use many elements and hundreds of glass seed beads to create a story letting others determine just what that story might be.

Every person, experience and moment in time there is only one like it. That is why I only make one of each design to stir emotions, thoughts, visions, mystery, to even ask the question, Why? To give one person something that is as unique, special and one of a kind like they are.

If I can do this, then my gift is priceless.

How to wear ToxicDaisy Jewelry

I have been designing Modern Hemp Jewelry for several years, even though many love my art they are finding it hard to add to their own style.

Here is an example of how I create a style starting with
the necklace.  I pulled the colors from the necklace and
built around it. I use a three color pallet, two colors for
the out fit and one color added into the accessories.

Many may say "this is not my style".  It is not so much
about what it is but how it is put together.  It's really about color.  Pull something you love from your own closet, pick a color out of the set that you really like then build your accessories
from that color.

The only difference from store bought jewelry and my
jewelry is that mine is made with hemp not metal and
that there is only one of each design hand made, not
mass produced.

There really is no formula, right or wrong way to put
fashion together.  It's all about what you like and what
makes you happy.  Your one of a kind, be who you want
to be and wear what you like.

One the rule about fashion, there are no rules.
Love your self and your fashion, have fun with it.
