Since
I've begun making jewelry, I find my that my introspections are
composed of shapes rather than words. So instead of grappling with how
to turn my wordy concepts into shapes, then back into words again, I
will experiment with going straight to the core, the surreal, the
shapes. What I aim to create is wearable art that is based on my own
ponderings and subconscious but still maintains an aesthetic
sensibility. That being said, I will give the pieces titles and details
of materials and size, but I will leave it's intrinsic meaning up to
you.
This bracelet is brave, bold, and flamboyant. It is to be worn when you want your presence known!
Chain
was created by hand forming each circle, hammering for strength,
linking them, and then soldering them closed. Each link is wrapped with
fine silver wire and one accent stone bead. Dangling from the chain are
vibrant stones of purple, lime green, orange, and yellow. All of the
stones have been wire wrapped either by "capping" a briolette, or
placing them on hand crafted head pins. The stones are mystic whiskey
topaz, 3 colors of quartz, amethyst, citrine, carnelian, peridot, and
purple jade. It closes with a hand crafted hook that can attach to any
of the links. The entire bracelet was oxidized and then hand and
machine polished. The bracelet is 8" long, but can be worn shorter.
