EONS

Well, it has been what seems as eons since I've been on this blog.  Four years almost to the date!  I have noticed that I am not the only one as many of us have decided that the quicker and easier way for an artist to communicate is through images and short descriptions on Instagram.  This in turn creates more time to create .... I think.  Unless I spend to much time editing my photos! But in fact I did the same with this blog so, yes, I think I am saving time.  For my few fellow followers, if you are still around, and wondered where I went... check out my Instagram account!

Sketchbook beginnings

As an artist, I am always interested in other artists sketchbooks....and to see how their final finished pieces transformed from their first draft.  So, I thought I would share a few pages from my sketchbook and drawings.  Some were just graphic designs in and of themselves and others were specifically drawn as jewelry pieces.  All drawings have a link to the final finished fine silver metal clay pendant.

Originally a birthday card for my mom...

 transformed to the Mandala Meditation pendant. 

The top design became the Cosmic Mandala.

This design, which is about 3x3 is now ....

the Sacred Talisman pendant.

This was the first necklace I designed for metal clay.

The finished piece is a bit different...not bezel set stone.

I still need to give it a proper name.

This is another small 3x3 design that I originally made into a card.  

The necklace from this design became....

 my first blog post!
