lately i am having trouble creating finished pieces of jewelry... i have ideas (all sketched out in my journal and floating around my head), i try to sit down and then i get antsy... really antsy...
i know that i need things to feel right before i can complete a piece... do i have the right gemstones to represent what is needed? the right balance of metal and fibers? plus i also need the head static to quiet down and that hasn't been happening...
so lately, i keep making more components -
i play with enameling (thanks to barbara lewis), setting eyelets, etching and texturing...
i play with patina (thanks to shannon levart), fusing, stamping and shibuichi...
i play with soldering, resin and words - getting those discs sooo close to being all grown up...
these too - they have just graduated from wax sealing finishing school...
