πHello to all the wonderful new faces joining my page! Iβm thrilled to have you here on this creative adventure with me. π§ββοΈβοΈβ¨
I wanted to take a moment to invite you π©πππππ
πππ πΊπππππ of my creative process!
1.) πIt all starts with the stone - itβs the primary storyteller in my creations. Each stone holds its own unique earth energy, and I sit with them individually, absorbing their essence, crafting βintuitively designedβ pieces.
2.) π€π€βοΈEver since my childhood drawing days, Iβve had a peculiar knack for sketching shadows on black paper with white pencil. I find this unique inversion helps me see the shadows more clearly. Placing a stone on a black canvas lets me see its story unfurl in my mindβs eye. With a white pencil, I bring to life the curves and lines that resonate with the stoneβs energy.
3.) π₯Once the drawing is complete, I work with silver, sawing, soldering, and shaping each component. Itβs in this process that the design around the stone evolves. The addition of the third dimension always introduces a subtle shift to the piece.
4.) π§Finally, my signature touch - the dew drops. These have been an ever-present feature in my work for almost a decade. They symbolize not just the place where I craft, rooted in the Alaskan temperate rainforest, but also the life and vitality that water brings to everything.π¦
