Playful Elements
I was once asked "what is your favourite way to work ?" I thought of my some 33 years of making jewellery and I answered. I love to play. So in order to have many possibilities and succeed in making what I have in my head, I make lots of different elements or parts in sterling silver, copper or other metal I have on hand. This is where I kick off the piece. Often I will set a stone almost to the finishing stage and add that to the play arena as well. Because I am an avid mudlarker and I'm always looking at the ground, I always seem to have some great cherished pieces to add to the mix....
