I’m going to be honest with you here…I’m nervous about putting this collection out into the world. But, in an effort to be true to myself, I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone and jumping off the cliff.
In reality, it’s not a big deal. The only thing I really have to lose is a bunch of my time that it will take to create it. I don’t know why I create these silly stories in my head.
Here’s the thing…the stones that I’m going to be using aren’t 100% formed naturally like a lot of other stones that I use. In fact, I cannot tell you exactly how they were made. I do know that they contain turquoise that has been reconstituted into a composite with copper, maybe another metal, and maybe even some dye. Cringe. There it is. I said it.
I was reassured that they don’t fade. My stone dealer is reputable, and I trust them.
I love those bright colors and complex ways your eyes move around to see everything in the stone. It’s an eye brain thing, that I don’t quite understand. But, I and can understand why you were drawn to these. Beautiful work!
Thanks, Kathy. I can’t quite explain why these grabbed me so much either. It’s definitely some of what you’re saying, and also the crispness of the, what would you call it, design elements? It’s like they’re trying to tell a story and the lines and separations are their words. I’m tellin’ ya…rocks really do talk, and you can hear what they’re saying if you know how to listen, even when they’re just little pieces of rocks put back together into one piece. I’m trying to tune into what they’re telling us.
Hi, how do I buy this jewelry, there are no prices and this is not on etsy or on your website. The only thing for sale is the mirror collection, Anne
