CREATING HANDMADE WITH HANDMADE
Although there is beauty when creating with a mixture of handmade and commercial, there is a certain artistic flare that will only be found when the entire piece is handmade. Creating handmade components is a talent that is time consuming, requires diligence and a creative imagination. The end product in this process brings the artist pleasure, not only with the handmade components, but then seeing that component turn it into a beautiful piece of art jewelry, whether entirely with the artist's interpretation or from a piece that another artists might create using the components.
Components and jewelry created from raw materials are entirely at the mercy of the artmaker (but the artmaker is also at the mercy of them). To even begin a piece, one must choose from a myriad number of options and narrow them down, then focus their energy. These energies - the physical and intellectual (both right and left brain) - get channeled into the work. The effect can be powerful.
By choosing "handmade" you are certian to be creating or purchasing a one-of-a-kind piece. You will also feel an intimate relationship with the maker ... a union of sorts, when wearing a piece created from all handmade.
These final products occur at one time in the maker’s life and captures something that hasn’t been captured before. These moments in time are precious - and in this work one can find touchstones to deeper feelings or values. In our world, it is easy to get lost between the hectic pace and sensory overload - phones ringing, texts coming in, computers. The energies of something designed and executed by a person with intention can be grounding.
Take the time today to notice the difference when created handmade with handmade.
