Contradiction  …

I love the unity of opposites.

The idea of creating something designed with seemingly opposing material but which others may find beautiful enough to buy and actually wear. Mixing materials usually perceived as expensive and precious, with others regarded with less auspicious eyes.. glass beads, shells, yarns, pebbles. It is a statement I guess, that it is our perception that gives value to things around us, and to me, if they blend harmoniously or if they contradict melodiously, then they are all beautiful, precious and worthy of our attention.

This month, I added three new items; two are designed with banded agate and silver, inspired by the most accessible forms of art "graffiti". The third piece is designed with sparkling crackle beads and squiggly silver loops, it almost looks like a tattoo when worn on the neck.

I have been concentrating on the effects of color, their contrasting effects on each other, and their blending smoothly together. A new concept is forming in my mind of creating in monochrome, of moving away from idea of the importance of color to maybe bring out the form, the actual design, to the forefront.

Then again, maybe I won't! Right now all my journals are overflowing with bits of color. Visit my inspirational blog to see what I am talking about:

Do these opposites truly attract? Am I forcing them to stay together? Are they really opposites? It's only jewelry after all.. Wear what you like, and like what you wear.

Until next time ..
