I recall just a few short years ago, bragging to my friends about my new Palm Pilot. I'd then pull out an antique folding pencil and sarcastically scribble on a scrap piece of paper. I was saddened by their addiction to pressing buttons and constantly staring at a screen rather than participating in LIFE AROUND THEM. I was thankful for being an artist, being able to earn my living simply by creating lovely, adored objects with my own two hands. Sure, I have some electrical tools to help, but most of the techniques and processes I use today are the same developed in Ancient Egypt! I LOVE the idea of taking one of nature's elements such as gold or silver and tweaking it; adding one of mother nature's gemstones into something wearable that is symbolic and meaningful to others.
...and here I am, the technological HOLD-OUT in the year 2009 starting my own BLOG! I've decided that it's time to realize that the cyber world can "partner" with ancient processes without damaging their value.
