If I could write a letter to my 30 year old self, this is what I'd say: Stop looking for guidance outside yourself, you will find your path when you decide what you want, moment to moment. Meaning will come not only by discovering shapes and colors, but when you realize what you are capable of doing, and who you have become in the process. Seek growth by following your curiosity, and always approve of yourself. This is your adventure, so set your own rules. Bask in each moment, and let your mind slow down enough for you to enjoy being alive. This is it! Airwaves pendant. Handmade with 100% recycled sterling silver and amethyst. Available this Saturday in my One-Day sale in Mexico City. Join my mailing list to receive an invitation (link in profile). I will often make many versions of the same idea until I find one that satisfies me. Even with a simple form, like this pendant, there are many variables: the thickness of the metal, the surface texture, it's weight, the size of the holes, the way in which they are laid out, and the space between them. When all of these elements work well together, I fall in love Star-Studded pendant. Cast in 100% recycled sterling silver and nickel-free bronze. Available this Saturday, in my One-Day Sale in Mexico City. My etched paintings will also be part of next Saturday's One-Day sale in Mexico City.

The imperfections that occured when you were cast give you character and personality. When I touch you, I am transported to the the old churches in Oaxaca, with walls burnished smooth by centuries of passing hands. As I feel your weight, I am brought back to the present, only to twirl you around my finger and imagine the future. Ring of Substance.

I know I procrastinate when my inner artist (who is about 5 years old) refuses to sit at her computer to finish her 55 Etsy listings, and instead plays around with metal clay and makes herself a ring. I found an old Atlas in a used bookstore this Summer. I decided to use it as a canvas to paint on, because the paper was thick, and the pages could be easily removed from the metal binder. Projects like this remind me of how free I feel when I work with inexpensive materials and pre-existing elements. It’s the reason I love working with silver: when everything fails, I can always melt what I’m doing and start again. I can also work with whatever wire, sheet metal, or gemstone I have at hand, and let each object give me ideas. A blank canvas tends to paralyze me, but a surface that already has an image and a distinct graphic layout awakens my imagination, and adds an extra layer of interest to each piece. This is still a work in progress, as there are many pages left in my Atlas, but in the meantime, here are my first paintings. I made them with gouache, and was inspired by what was on each page. I hadn’t wanted to show them to you because I was being too self critical, but I shared them with my dear friend Iris, and she encouraged me to do so. I hope they inspire you. Each painting measures 12.20" by 13.77" (31 by 35 cm). |
