That's a Wrap

I was brainstorming necklace ideas the other day and decided that a metal-free design would suit my needs. A simple, non-fussy look that would highlight my porcelain pieces and add a pop of color. I know that white gets old and 99% of the time when people think "jewelry", they're thinking in color. These are a few of the newest creations I've come up with. I'm very happy with them--getting to dive into my embroidery thread stash and obsessively wrap things is very pleasing, I must say.

Welcome!

I promised myself I wouldn't start another blog, but I felt that alluvial needed a home. Not just a facebook page and an etsy shop, but a home. Where I could talk about making things...the carving, creating, firing (and misfiring!) that make this other world my own. Not just marketing and ads, but honestly sharing about my creative process--and the love/hate that accompanies that.

I also like to paint. After a prolonged period of painting, my brain becomes flooded with color and I long for the absence of it. Pure. White. Blank. And that's what alluvial has become to me. A yin to the yang. An abstract to the realist. Two sides..my other shoe.

Someone asked me if I thought I was "diluting" myself artistically by doing both. On the contrary, I believe I am now complete.

Thank you for joining me. Please feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you.
