I make a lot of samples for this blog. Occasionally I get asked what I do with those pieces. Some pieces I turn into jewelry and a few are on art cards. This past year I had this special project in mind. It was inspired by two different trips to Paris. A few years ago I bought this fun wooden mirror frame in a French department store. The shape was so unique and I have never found anything similar to it here in Canada. So I carried it home in my luggage and waited for some inspiration.
Then last year I spotted this amazing mirror in a jewelry store in Paris. I absolutely loved the idea and realized it was a great way to use up all my samples.
So over a month or so I rearranged pieces on the frame.
I have so many, it is hard to choose.
There is a mirror in the centre. No doubt I will continue to add to it. For now, I am just happy to see my samples out in my studio.
a fun idea to use up all those bits and pieces!
ReplyDeleteThis is like a visual time capsule...where you've come from and how you evolve until your final piece is attached to it. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I do polymer clay frames and you gave me a good idea about what to do with all my left over canes.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks great! Very clever way to showcase your samples and keep the inspiration flowing!!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool!
ReplyDeleteClever, as my mother would say. I can see possibilities here for my own work. It would be brillant to have a mirror I use at jewelry also showcase the beads I make in this way.
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I am just amazed at the work done by you.
