Today we woke to a foggy day here in Texas. It is the perfect day to be in the workshop creating. I have been asked why jewelry? I think this stems from a lot of things. I have crafted as long as I can remember. I used to love the Fall when all the local and church craft shows made their premier for the Christmas season. It is a cherished memory I have of sharing it with my Mom. I am one of those people who is a very frequent pinner on Pinterest and have enough pinned projects to last a lifetime. Ahh so many crafts so little time. Being a physician and a life long needle worker ( starting with embroidery and quilting)draws in the precise scientific part of me that gets infused into the creating of my jewelery.The love of re-purposing probably goes back to my roots of being raised by depression era parents where everything was re-purposed and reused and never wasted. I feel jewelry is a way to combine the love of re-purposing and my creative side.
Life partner was a wonderful carpenter and before having to retire was doing a lot of historical renovation. His precision was obvious in his restoration work and now in his jewelry creations. I watch now in awe as he takes apart old watches and separates those very miniscule parts for later use. I watched him do the same in his past profession.
I think we are fortunate to have found something we both love and can share together. We continue to work on creations that we hope you love as much as we do.
