Musings on Venturing into 2013
As the holidays pass us by, I find myself looking forward to the new year and
all it has to bring. 2012 has been an inspired year of creativity and personal
artistic growth. The jewelry making world is such a fascinating community. In
the past, we all existed in our various jewelry crafting bubbles too busy to
venture out to connect with fellow jewelers. This often would leave me feeling
disconnected from the jewelry community in which I work and slightly isolated by my
craft. My favorite change over the course of this year has been the dynamic
social networking has brought to the jewelry making table. It has been an
amazing evolution to now connect daily with like creative minds and to show our creations to our collectors as well. The sharing of stories
and techiniques bond us as we create our treasures . I have now managed to meet
many of the greatest talents in each specialty within the jewelry
and metalsmithing field from all over the world.It'sexciting to be a part of this new way of
communication and connection.
As this new year begins,
I am determined to stick with this blog concept and plan to feature jewelry creative processes and finished pieces. I will venture between general creative musings, feature fellow
metalsmiths and technical advice, and of course my favorite Modern
Heirloom creations from our shop at Silver Bonsai Gallery. I hope you all enjoy a glimpse of the
many great talents hiding behind the metalsmithing benches of the world as well
as a peak at what it takes to create each treasure. For now, I want to share
with you one of my recent engravings.Have an inspired day!
