Hand and Heart

December 19, 2009

Found and constructed objects. Charms for making, to keep the connection between hand and heart, to inspire a light touch and unburdened memory, a simultaneously focused and detached response to a wild flow of ideas and an overwhelming abundance of materials. Finishing a work of art is all about letting go.

Patin’d silver metal bezel and chain and vintage charm. The image is a hand painted paper tile is an original work of art comprised of vintage paper, ink, and oil paint glaze to resemble the palimpsest of illuminated manuscripts.

It’s really beautiful and I love the fish detail :)

Also, words of wisdom, re: letting go!

Yes sir. :)

You know that I am distracted by making books though right? Whose fault is that?

I believe I can take at least some of the blame for that. You know me, I want it all! :)

Thank you. I’m not really a jeweler but I like making charms and the I think the metal work is pretty good.

I love them both! So beautiful. Being a Pisces, the fish caught my eye immediately. :)

Thank you. I like fish and fish symbols. It’s too bad that I had only one of those little charms. It’s much nicer than others I’ve seen. It had a good patina and weight to it.
