Abigail Percy on botanical design

January 28, 2008 by Andrea Bellamy 4 Comments

Jewellery designer Abigail Percy guest blogged on Design*Sponge last week, and her posts are all themed around botanical design.

She’s pretty well-positioned to provide her perspective on the matter, too. Her own designs, which I have long coveted, are botanically-inspired — like her anemone earrings, above. (*Drool*)

Abigail says, “I love seeing just how many different ways the same plants can be stylised…from something very literal, to something really abstracted and vague – all stemming from the one source.” Her posts go on to explore the influence of the botanical on pattern design, ceramics and fabrics and more. Go check it out – it’s a guaranteed mood-enhancer for the botanically-deprived gardener!

    You are right – this was just what I needed while stuck indoors during a nasty blizzard. The anemone earrings are stunning – I want a pair! I snuck off and looked at Abigail Percy’s blog and etsy store. Oh la la, there are some gorgeous offerings there.

    Thanks for opening up another world!

    Kate – I’m home from work on a mandated “snow day” – but I can’t imagine it’s anything close to a Regina blizzard! I know – don’t you just love her stuff? I am putting those on my birthday wish list :)

    Abigail – thank you! And thanks for sharing your perspective on botanical design. You’ve made me much more aware of botany’s impact on the world of design.
