"My intention has always been to create pieces that encourage people to take the time out of their busy day-to-day lives. To appreciate life’s simplicities and the world around them, to stop, take a second look and admire something.
The realisation that I myself was not doing what my work
encouraged others to do, was one that broke me out of a pretty big rough
patch.
Inspired by found objects from interactions with my
environment, this body of works represents a reminder to slow down, go for a
walk, and take a deep breath."
So so so happy with these pins. Probably my favourite (completed) body of work since leaving uni. At times I wish I had a bit more time to dedicate to my jewellery, a full day that WASN'T one my weekend days. But that will come eventually, and Im happy with what I am able to do when I fully focus and am excited about being at my bench. At the moment, it's funds that are inhibiting me more than the time factor! So once I get somethign back from these guys, I will be able to purchase some more materials for some new ideas :) Very exciting! With other things in the pipeline, such as a holiday to Rarotonga, saving for a new car, life in general, there isn't much extra in the bank! But thats not an issue that only I am experiencing, so time to get up and move on, start thinknig 'what next?' so that when I have the funds, I can get making asap!!! Thanks to everyone who has been out to see this display :)
