Exploring....



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..

  2. Oh 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!!

    These rings look fantastic, and I can't wait to see the finished pieces after you have cast them :-) I love your work!
