Every single day since I started making jewelry has been
a wonderful journey..
Ive gone through simple wrapping into
more intricate wirewrapping..
And then I discovered solder,and flame and metals..
Oh what a joy!Being able
give soul to a cold metal is truly
amazing!
Being totally selftaught had its ups and downs..
I have experienced a wide range of emotions..
Disappointment and joy through trial and error..
Moments when I felt I could create nothing
but mediocre..nothing but something that
was seen again and again and again..
But there where times that I felt proud
of my creations..
Being stubborn really helped..
So, I started experimenting with casting..
It is an interesting technique..and it
will be a lovely journey..
of course they are not ready yet..
But, they will be soon..
I like the look of those purple rings!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny, my feelings are perfectly echoed in your words...my journey has been very similar to yours! Being self-taught and having to find your own way can be frustrating...but it is also exhilarating and satisfying!!
ReplyDeleteThese rings look fantastic, and I can't wait to see the finished pieces after you have cast them :-) I love your work!
