Making A Fresh Start....

with a new shop : SilverLinesJewelry.etsy.com and a new blog..

Why you might wonder..well,it doesnt go deeper than cos I needed
to...I needed a Fresh Start. I needed something new to cheer me up
a bit..Not that making jewelry doesnt cheer me up..oh no..

it does WAY MORE than just cheering me up..

The whole making jewelry project in my life started a month

after my father was diagnosed with Cancer during February of 2008.

I was utterly devastated.My world as I knew it up to then, had

just fallen apart.Nothing mattered;pain and anger had

taken all over my body and soul.

So, I needed to do something with my hands.I dont know why.

It was the only thing I wanted to do.It was the only thing

that could keep me sane from the madness going on in

my head.

I started playing with beads and wire and pliers and more

beads and more wire and more pliers..

and then with a jeweler's saw and torch and solder and

more cabs and more silver and and and...

And basically one thing led to another..

During this journey,I discovered Flickr,Etsy and I was fascinated.

I "met" many wonderful talented artists with whom

I ve become friends and still are a great inspiration to me.

I try to become a better jewelry designer every day.

I try to draw inspiration from whatever catches my attention.

and I hope that someday I will be proud of my self as a

designer.

And I hope that my father looks at me from wherever he is and

is proud of who I have become

now...

So, this was a post without pictures I know, but with

some truths about why I make jewelry..and where it

all started..

Take care,

T
