AUTUMN

9/3/2012

Autumn must be my favorite time of the year, together with Spring. It reminds me of my childhood in Holland, of going to the woods with my parents and our golden retriever and look at the all the beautifully coloured leafs, red toadstools with white dots and acorns and green coloured moss everywhere. Hearing the falling leafs make that crispy sound under your feel while you are walking. (Not seeing the dog poo underneath and stepping on that was less pleasant) ;-)

I wanted to make some jewelry to "capture" that feeling and this is one of the things  I came up with:

These colours and elements inspire me for lot´s and lot´s of new jewely and other things, things are starting to pop up in my head and make me feel like claying for hours. Those moments I would love for this to be my actual job and to dream away working in my own studio... However I have a full-time job and not all the time I wish to dedicate to this hobby. There are so many new and exciting things I want to try out, and the works of this amazing lady, Kathleen Dustin, marvels me and I would love to have even a 1/100th % of her talent! This is just an example of her work:

For now, I will stop dreaming and continue practicing and trying to get better and better and walk my own path. I will get there one day!

Hi Alenka, I don´t know why my page doesn´t let me reply when I am logged in, so I am doing it as a "stranger" on my own page. Thank you for reading my blog! Don´t you just love autumn? It must be a beautiful time in Slovenia. ;-)
