Love Lost and Love Found — New Jewelry
Posted on | January 20, 2009 | 1 Comment
I have recently found that I like designing and putting together beaded jewelry to go with my collage-y artwork. All the little, shiny beads in their translucent colors…. Although I do need a magnifying glass for the smallest ones, and my hands feel a bit cloddish, I am in love again. Perhaps just a phase, but I am learning to just follow without judgment where my creative river flows.
Love Lost is a wistful piece. Is that a young widow or the spirit of Death wandering the cemetery with a single red rose? This piece features my first completely original photography, which has been altered using Photoshop CS2. I plan to make a series of notecards with this and other images from the same photo shoot.
Single Rose is a bit more playful. I imagine someone wearing this with white or red lingerie for their lover. Coy and mockingly innocent. In a way, it reminds me of my youthful sexual encounters. The image I colorized was originally photographed by Tina Keller under a Creative Commons license.
I’d like to thank my friends Art Drauglis for photographing these and ChaCha for modeling the necklaces.
Let me know what you think.
