15 is a few less than 100
Well, the 100 Day Project turned out to be harder for me to keep up on than I had planned. In January, I made a trip to Florida to learn some new processes for jewelry making and once I was back, I stopped working on the 100 day project. I signed up for the 100 day project to create space in my life for new designs and new ways of exploring three dimensional shapes through carving wax. While I did see marked improvement in my skills over 15 days of wax carving, I am now finding myself in April with a mere 15 waxes to show for my project.
I think that all creativity comes from a place that is hard to cultivate and maybe my 15 days were just the spark I needed because I have a whole bunch of other new designs and pieces that are being worked on and I am really excited about them! Another trip up in my 100 day project commitment was only allowing myself 1 hour per day to carve wax. I simply have a hard time stopping after one hour, so I would find myself spending 3-4 hours on a wax, without really having that much time to dedicate to it.
Regardless, it is what it is. I am very grateful for the part of the project I completed and I think it is rather awesome to have even achieved what I have. I think I asked the forces that be for wax carving skills. The answer I got was for a different question. I am okay with that. The question should have been: What new things should I explore? The answer was Keum Boo, Die Cutting and Enamel Pens. More coming soon on this soon!
Here is the NEW Lake Superior Agate Silver Forest Cocktail Ring I created a few weeks ago! Click the image for more info.
My son and I made sure to get this for my fiancé it really shows her love for the UP! Everyone comments on the rustic look because it’s one of a kind!
My husband bought this for me in an aquamarine for my birthday. I love the uniqueness of the ring. The birch etching goes throughout the entire band. He knows I love me a birch tree and picked out the perfect gift. Packaging and shipping were on point.
they are a present for my grandaughter out in Wyoming-i'm going to give them to her next week. i think they're great-we'll see what she thinks..
This is a cute personalized Valentine pendant.
don't know how you get that much detail into such a small area thewy were a big hit. thanks again.
My wife loves Cickadees and she loves these perched on the beautiful copper ring which highlights the delicate silver birds.
Got this for my sister and she loved it. Reminds us of our mother and grandmother’s love of this tiny creature.
This pendant is absolutely precious. It was a perfect Valentine gift. The lovebirds and carved heart with initials made it very special. Hats off to Brooke on this darling design.
I love all the details on this piece, especially the "imperfect" notches around the edges. It looks beautiful with or without initials, but I love my personalized version.
