I have those stories of selling simple knotted jewelry, when I was 7, using Antique Millefiori Murrine Venetian glass trade beads... and also digging in my Mom's jewelry box. All of us that cannot get jewelry designing out of our brains have those stories for it is in us needing to spill out onto the work surface. My favorite aspect of creating wearable art is working with metal. I love metal in all forms from antique tools to the finest filigree, it all draws me in.
I did have a gallery for 6 years with also being involved on art related or town related committees and boards. I never understood why artists became so reclusive until I left everything and attached myself more to private moments and the garden studio. I was pulled everywhere before and now I can wrap my head around the process of being an artist which is a pretty fabulous thing. I love my job! I create versions of this necklace finding inspiration from a little vintage one my Grandmother found at a church sale when my oldest daughter was a tiny thing. She now has her own daughter. >
