Little Creature

Posted on Instagram on May 10, 2019

This little one has not made his appearance in my feed until now...mostly because he was literally finished the past night.
.
And he was already snatched by a loving keeper! Omg I am so grateful and blown away by your support 😍😍😍😍
.
Anyway...I want to talk a little about him and his little brothers and sisters.
I know I am mostly, nowadays, a jewelry maker - and god, I love it.
But I have a whole artistic background and inner world that can't be tamed to fit into a box.
Reason why it was perfectly fine to let go of drawing to pursue jewelry.
Reason why it is now perfectly fine to carve a little time for these creatures in between silversmithing.
Because, as someone I admire said, art is not a choice.
It's my essence in many ways, my being.
.
And sometimes my creative vein runs toward the realm of magic, of fantastic, and curls up in tenderness and childish awe.
And I can only follow it.
Because this is how I teach myself who I am.
Because this is how I give the world the gift of my heart.
.
So yep...I am absolutely in love for these little creatures and the stories they whisper to me.
I am immensely grateful for this little chubby one because, as soon as I finished him, holding him in my hand, I cried tears of tenderness.
.
And my heart opens and all is softness and beauty.
