This is one of my first wood experiments that didn't quite work out. It took a frightening amount of time to cut, carve, sand and polish this. That's part of why I've been learning how to work with the lathe. It's definitely another skill, but the process is a lot faster than carving for me. I added on the blue cords so it would fit in with the color theme of the week. Materials:hand carved wood, hand made rope, linen, cotton and acrylic cords.
This is my attempt, (and it will either kill me or cure me!) to step away from my commercial training in costume jewelry. To develop a way of creating that is more of a meditation, a practice. One necklace, every day for a year.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the pretty comment, it would sit nicely in the middle of a haiku...
