I got really excited for new work to coincide with the Santa Fe Recycle Show (in just about 10 days!) and this is now my first priority. Been super busy with recycled paper jewelry projects and overwhelmed with all the possibilities...time, as always, is too short. Old matches paper boxes, strips of paper from magazines and old books (these date back from my Sanskrit and Indian Arts studies...maybe I should call these the Sanskrit series?) shaping it all into pendants and earrings. Every piece unique, I am just flowing with the flow here. Materials and tools, main aid the old press inherited from my grandfather (I remember seeing it as a child sitting on an old oak table in his lawyer office, walls filled with books and 'pratiche' (clients files) he would organize, press and bound with strings in alphabetical order on floor to ceiling shelves.
Such a precious gift, a collector's item, a sturdy, high quality piece of equipment I am so grateful to have! |
jewelry notes from the bench
Hi, welcome to my jewelry blog!
I make simple, colorful and bold jewelry for a contemporary ageless and fun style. Have been doing this for quite sometime...pretty sure this is what I want to do when I grow up! Here I jot down thoughts and notes and pictures of work in the making, both in my mind, on paper and on the bench. for bench updates and exclusive previews... archives
