hums

I find myself moving words around inside my mouth, vibrations in my brain, as I hear myself speak. I am noticing how my response to my own work is in words, in "hums" as A. A. Milne described for Winnie the Pooh. Notes and hums for myself. Pages covered in words that caught my attention, caused me to stop, pausing to capture them for later digestion and contemplation. Groups of words as drawings and sketches for work to be, with a simple line or curve to indicate the movement of the piece.

Lucky me.

It is kind of funny.....how my work seems to direct itself at this point. I started making jewelry when I was almost fifteen sort of on a suggestion and a whim. Who would have guessed that almost twenty seven years later (pay no attention to the equation or the answer) I would continue to find excitement in the medium? The knowledge that is embedded in my body and brain is boggling and yet I have really just begun as there is always something else to discover while I work. Yes, I am lucky.

Check that off the list! Lose posting before posting. Okay, Done. Check!

While sounding redundant to only myself.....

How I will use this tool......post favorite tools, must have supplies, in the moment influences, life long influences, ideas, sketches, works in progress, finished pieces, work of collegues, studio environment, opportunities to show and anything else which seems important to fix into memory.

testing?

A place to collect my thoughts about what I make.
