We're All Ears and Inspired by Racing Boats!



Navy blue waters and wind filled sails
This month's inspiration photo gives a little nod to the patriotic holiday we just celebrated--the 4th of July. These racing boats have very graphic sails.  I love the red, white, and blue colors.  The dark navy water against the light blue sky and the rolling waves add to the color palette choices.

 What inspired me about this photo? 

The shape of the sails filled with wind caught my attention as well the deep and dark blues in the ocean of the photo.
Blue and silver earrings are available for purchase here
These fresh, contemporary blue earrings are inspired by this photo.  They are for those who are looking for large oval dangles that are very retro looking. These navy blue earrings feature natural sodalite stones and sterling silver. The deep, ocean blues in these stones are as gorgeous as the dark blues in the photo.

  2. Your earrings are simple and elegant. They are perfect for summer as they would not be heavy on the ears. Like you, I was inspired by the billowing sails. It's fun to see the various designs that come from one photo.
