Lately I have been drawn to clean lines and unencumbered shapes. The jewels I reach for myself have been simple yet well structured. I find that adding too many elements can be a distraction, and like the tattoos that cover me I find value and beauty in negative space.
Spirit echoes and tribal talismans are what I am making. My future Native mother in law tells me that my aesthetics and beliefs resemble a world market in diversity, (and while this is a good thing) I need to narrow and focus on what my heart feels. I am re-reading and discovering several Native American cultural books she has given me, and have been naming my latest pieces in honor of different tribes.
Focussing on what the heart feels is not always an easy process. Wishing you sure footing on your journey.
