So I went out for dinner last night with some fellow jewellers and it got me thinking how lazy I've become. I haven't made any jewellery for so long. Of course there is always excuses...no time...no money...no tools. But seriously what am I doing! I learnt these amazing skills and now I don't use them. Yeah i need money so I do a proper job but i should have never st oped creating. I love it. I love everything about it. I love having a sketchbook brimming with ideas. I love realising I can make what I'm trying to draw in wire. I love the freedom I have that i can create whimsical pieces.
I think I got bitter when I finished university. I got a good mark but was so close to a better one and all I could think was what if? What it I wasn't ill what could I have achieved...
My work developed over such a dark period of my life. My sadness pours out of. But its a testament to that time and my strength and determination.
Now I no longer just see darkness, now I can see the world again. I see a lot of possibilities.
So its about time I started achieving...
