The Water Lily and Friends

I love collages because they show a selection of pieces, from my doodles, sketches and whatnots to actual jewelry designs in Sterling Silver or Vermeil. If you were to look closely the two(small) horseshoes in Sterling Silver are replicas of worn and oxidized horseshoes, one from Argentina and the other one from Spain, two countries very dear to me. The Third one, which may look like a Horsehoe was inspired by the Letter D in the Book of Kells... Who knows? it even resembles a horsehoe... and as one who rode horses at a very young age, I couldn't express my feelings better than these lyrics...,


..."I'm back in the saddle again

Out where a friend is a friend

Where the longhorn cattle feed

On the lowly gypsum weed

Back in the saddle again..." - Gene Autry



 

The Water Lily

Bracelet


Who doesn't love the paintings by Monet? Who has not heard about the more than 250 paintings of Water Lilies by Monet?

As a Docent for the Norton Museum of Art I spent many a day studying about Monet and his paintings. The research into an Artist's life is fasinating. One delves into the artist's background, current events of the times, and influences. It opens a world through the artist's "lens (eyes)"( after all the Impressionists were also influenced by the camera.) So, My Water Lily bracelets (one in Sterling Silver) were finished in wax, to be exact, on August 8th, 2024, and published on Instagram. As you can see, two years passed before I even considerd having one of them cast in Silver. A model that now needs some wotk and a little imagination to make of it a beautiful ornament, which perhaps will someday grace someone's arm.

And whoever wears it... can say that Monet had something to do with it ....
