Al Gravitar Rodando

Yeeee I’m currently learning to set stones and it’s hard, I guess it takes a bit to get the hold of it but uff.. and well here are my first 2 attempts:

I might be crossed eyed pretty soon , but happy, and well eventually in some time I’ll have to learn this..   

” To fall in the top silence,

we give everything,

the nights request not to be remembered,

I just know I’m flying far away,

I can understand I shouldn’t pretend to understand,

we give everything,

Clouds passs by the clouds of my head.

I’m just looking for the answer of me being here,

Distances don’t exist..

As I fly I sing to a name I haven’t heard..

My body has turned to a sight,

There’s beings who don’t believe in distances,

There’s an aroma of old times.

We give everything,

There’s no distances,

Just landscapes that together go away..”

This is my latest piece , I love pearls and this one has 3 freshwater pearls and I hope you like the change in the focus point… lil old poem I wrote once help me make this piece..

It’s for sale, because I think it’s time for me to sell some pieces online. .. my poor little store is all empty but well its a beginning…

 So the other day I met my friend Alejandro..he asked me to make him a cross for daily use.. and this is what I made for him. It’s pretty much the first time I make something like this and I like it it’s basic ..and it looks good  

 It’s a very classic design and well he wants it in white gold, I made it in silver first to get his approval..

Well I was making a ring the other day, but during class it was a request from someone and honestly well I’ve been at this for 5 months I’m not a jeweler yet and some things leave me clueless..

I had a request for a ring and I took the request to my teacher to see how it could be done, and I started and spent hours and hours trying to get through it and then my teacher told me about why we have to have our place.

So this is the situation if someone asks me for a piece and if it’s so time consuming that I’ll leave personal projects behind, then is just not a good idea.

I told that person that I was not going to able to make the ring for her yet, and there was no problem, and then I made me this..

If you make piece and that person wants one with a variation, wants the piece, wants one like it.. it’s good. But if someone tells me what to do how to do it.. then where do I put my personality on it ? Where is my touch? That thing that says I made it. These includes replicas, some people even get pictures of others people’s designs and say : “ I want this”

This is a ring I’m wearing daily with my version of a lotus flower, the ring is to remind me to work on my ideas and to try to keep it an art, personal, even if I make less money.

I’m happy to clear my brain..

I’m sure they can’t flight up to the moon, but what if one tried.

 
This pendant is just  a though I had from a conversation when this question popped out, and at night I went home and I just had  tiny bit of silver and I made this pendant.

It’s very little a bit more than half an inch, the sky is oxidized , something about oxidizing pieces I like the shadows and things that can be done with it..

I got my order  the other day, I have 150 grams of silver to play with not much but enough and get some Ideas I have made.I’ll do more with this theme I’m thinking a ring I like the result.

I made this out of 3 white canvas wrapped with leather painted all over , aged, made a collage and wrote the following quote by Anais Nin..

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. “

Just added .. Time flies.. to be able to use the clock with wings I made..

This was for my friend George.. for his birthday he loved It

Think of it as a Bday card you could use as a shrine/decoration afterwards… the pictures :

For the front:

Open:

Beads,small pieces of wood, leather here it is standing.. :

So the other day was a day of shopping for random things as one does…

I have this thing for little things, or strange things, and I keep puting them everywere, now that the studio is actually looking like a studio then I am starting to buy things to give it a more personal touch..

Starting with my favorite a couple of Mushrooms to store acid and borax..

Then my lil vintage ..porcelain egg.. I don’t like roses much but this had blue and black tones on it so it gives it a nice touch…

.. yee look at what’s inside..

This has a little story.. the thing is we had to make a perfect sphere.. and to know it was perfect once done it had to roll in a parallel line, back and forth which meant it was fully perfect all around..

Mine rolled and I almost cried ahaha! (you can see me there, and that in my hand is something important I wrote but it fade so I don’t remember haha ), It’s 16mm

Then I got this pretty scarf coz I got a thing for scarfs I got too many all colors some made by me some purchased, It used to be the same with hats I had about 25 hats and gave them all away when I went to Aust.

This one is nice coz is very light.. bit silly to wear big scarfs when you live in CR.

And that’s all for today!
