2021 ... Here we go
Well I think we can all agree that 2021 didn't exactly start the way we had all hoped. I suppose we were all so glad to see the back of 2020 that our hopes for 2021 were magnified.
But here we are, and I for one am doing my upmost to remain positive. This isn't always easy and I think we all need to recognise that some days will be easier than others.
For me, I find solace in the creative process, I enjoy spending time listening to the radio or an audiobook whilst completely focusing my attention on the task at hand. So after a Christmas break where my creative mojo seemed to abandon me completely, I am back in the workshop with many new things in the pipeline.
The joy I felt on completing these first pieces of 2021 has been great. The alchemy of silver smithing seems so magical as the piece goes through varying stages of production, there are so many different steps and it is all consuming (more on that another day).
Take a look at my newest products above, what do you think? There's definitely a spring time influence as I look ahead into the new year.
In the meantime, I wish you all the best for the start of - what looks to still be - a challenging year.
