I often look to the art world for inspiration -and have been yelled at by many a gallery guard for snapping the odd photograph to remember a piece by. These of course make me think of the fringe trend that you see all over the place right now. I've posted two of my many favorites below- It's hard to call this a "trend" as it never seems to go away. I've been doing drippy chain earrings for clients as long as I've been designing jewelry, but you always have to find a new way to do it and I like the combination of color- thread and tacking to stations. Makes me think of the thread paintings of the 70's as well.

70's String art--this picture leaves me feeling compelled to stick my head in the center and strut around like Cher.
