I
have taken a new direction in my work, or my work has taken me in a new
direction, depending upon how you view life. Since the price of gold is
so high it is not feasible to work at the pace I enjoy. I have returned
to a much earlier time period in my bench-life when I experimented more,
created much looser work and was not so constricted to measurements and
strict guidelines. Perhaps this comes with age, more confidence in my
skills, lack of funds to purchase an abundance of gold, a desire for new
endeavors, a creative surge, or all of the above. I have used all the
many skills I have learned over a lifetime of classes and benchwork in
creating this heart collection. Numerous techniques have been incooperated:
chasing, repousse, kum-boo, riveting, raising, soldering, granulation,
fusing, fun and discovery. Each piece created leads me to another idea,
a new experiment and more excitement. Hope you enjoy them.... anni
My 22k work will always be offered in my body of work as well.
