Why the name Indigo Berry - what does it mean?

 

Indigo Berry  references my love of nature, my favourite colour (in case you hadn't guessed - its purple! And yes I AM a huge PRINCE fan!) and the spark of an idea...

 

Indigo Berry is actually a tropical plant so on one level the name refers to my love of natural forms and the inspiration that I take from flowers.

 

The colour indigo is the rainbow colour associated with intuition, perception, meditation, spirituality and creativity. Ideas for my jewellery and crafts often come ‘out of the blue’ as I am inspired by the gemstones, beads and materials that I work with.  

 

Berry is another word for seed, fruit or kernel. The seed is the source, the place of origination - and, by association, the creative spark... and beads often look like little berries!
