A good reminder, as I'm getting back into jewelry where it's so easy to get lost in the techniques, that simple things are beautiful (via On Being blog):
And this refreshing clip of jewelry maker Jill Platner, to remind us why we keep making things (via CoolHunting newly discovered through Lari's blog):
I can't believe it's been a week since I last posted but have been super busy "doing" things, with the Art for Japan fundraiser coming up this Friday, and the few new projects I set out to do all at the same time:
I am toying (again) with the idea of opening an online store, and decided to go back to jewelry making. I found these few pieces that I made a few years ago, and they go me inspired to start again:
I have been playing with teeshirts and swaddling on a jewelry scale and want to experiment with mixing in other components such as metal or beads. Right now it looks like this:
I also started knitting this panel with paper yarn that I found at Habu last week:
Oh, and when in New York, I found some super soft leather hides that I couldn't resist.. and want to make bags or accessories with. I'll post pictures soon, it's very much "work in progress" with all the struggles that come with it : )
So voila.. a bit scattered, aren't I? I enjoyed watching this little clip this morning, based on a letter from Sol Lewitt to Eva Hesse , and I feel I'm doing plenty of "something" and "anything" :)
Her link seems to be down but hopefully tomorrow will be another day.. It's just so inspiring I had to post it - it makes me feel like making jewelry again. Love it..
