I had a long discussion with myself
the other day, concerning metals…
It is obvious that silver is becoming a
really expensive metal..
And each time I buy silver I m
becoming more and more reluctant
about using it.
So, I m looking at it on my work
bench and bang! thoughts like these pop :
I will create a big statement piece!...
No no no..it will be really expensive...
No no, I d rather make sth small,
sth for everyday, sth that will not be expensive…
ok..how about making a pair of earrings?
No, no I better make a pendant first…
And these thoughts take a lot of my
design-making jewelry time.
Plus, they make me feel less creative..
and I don't like that.
So, I have decided to use more Brass
and Copper in my designs.
I will still use Sterling of course,
but in smaller pieces…
except for Custom Orders J

I think the lack of creativity in me is linked to the price of silver too. I spend too much time thinking instead of just doing. Silver did just drop quite a bit on Thurs/Fri, so I'm hoping to get a decent order in before it goes up again (if it does) It still sucks though. I love those Ametrine Earrings ♥
ReplyDeleteThese are all very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that anything you make will have that trademark SilverLines feel to it and will be gorgeous!
