A quick shot of the current affairs of my bench... with some thoughts going to adding to these earrings already out there. Been working on expanding earrings styles and sizes for the Slices collection.
Going smaller and tiny now, just to make sure I catch a broad spectrum of possibilities... Work bench has been sporadic these past few weeks, I have been mostly glued to the computer for 'office work' and longer than I would wish on anyone. Distractions are many, just sticking to my tools here. wondering how everybody is doing deep into this augus...just 3 days to close. among all the turmoil outside, i have been finding refuge (literally) upstairs in my studio, under a very low ceiling at a desk under a bright skylight... scored 18 of these little ones this month, and for now piling them up to ready them for future endeavors.
see you there!
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? |
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
