as this summer progresses in unprecedented ways, the un-focus is everywhere to be found. cannot say this whole pandemic thing is not effecting me...despite my sought out solitude and blissful isolation, the energy flow is subtle and always pulsating, even if in stuffed away into recycled ice cream containers (ahh...those times!) to be re-discovered just at the right moment. just like these old paper samples and cutouts for the free form squiggles, another project for that day coming. there has been progress happening too, albeit scattered in all possible directions, testing the winds of change..
and all along, keeping things steady in the studio, updating my online store, envisioning a closeout sale in the works...stay tuned! months of uncertainties have been piling up, we do not know what is happening next. bring my thoughts back to my work, the bench, what needs to be done, slices earrings, in progress. and after a few days, got a bunch to shoot, tedious work of quite a few hours... and then, they are ready to go!
...in preparation. always in preparation-mode. here below more idle time spent in playing with dots recently, and blank paper and the small scissors, somewhere. this is another something that could be.
visual notes, one to touch all around, feel how it could feel... wishful thinking? january is the month that always gets away with nothing. among the picking up of things left hanging from the old year gone, the good resolutions to start afresh, the dwindling of time, there is that peek into all that can be, luring ideas into unknown territories with all the 'what-ifs'... i have no idea what to do with these.
a roll of brass strip given to me ages ago by someone i don't remember, it has been tucked away and preciously preserved for whenever. cut out a piece, annealed it, cut it up again, rolled it through the rolling mill...a simple excercise in futility, but it felt so good! |
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
