My favorite days in my studio are the days that I let myself just follow and instinct to see how a process develops.  I had a few orders to take care of and I wanted to do some experimenting.  I completed the wallets for a charming shop in Barnstable, Mass called—Mosees.  Sorry, Maura I have owed you these for a long time and I will ship today.  But, then I looked at the pile of leathers all over my studio and wanted to find a way to play with the loads of browns I have.  So, I started painting, distressing and sealing them. I love the architectural, archeological quality of how this bracelet turned out.  It’s not a look for everyone.  It’s a little brutal, which I happen to love.  More to follow in this direction.

Here are snapshots of my process. I’ve never really seen these stages and it was interesting to see the evolution. Sometimes I think we get a little too hung up on the outcomes of whatever we are working on and we negate all that we’re learning along the way. Take a pause during your next project and see what you note. I was very struck by how juvenile my work looks in the beginning when I’m just roughing in the shapes. I realize that I basically like every stage along the way, but the carving and then the antique glaze that goes into the grooves of the piece are most satisfying to me. Good Luck with whatever project you have planned for your Saturday.
