Antiquarian Threads Jewelry line

ANTIQUARIAN THREADS


Inspiration comes from many sources. I have spent
my life in constant overwhelming wonder of of our natural history, wanderlust, culture, art, history, great literature, and the pure line of an engraving...the
gleam of silver and gold....and true craft. They all
seem to tie back together in the big picture and I
can't wait for you to see it.
I am working on a line of jewelry pieces combining
all of these. I can see many directions my art can take me and I guess it might surprise and delight most .

The line encompasses a few different collections.

Compass Rose a collection of pieces made from the beautiful compass roses found on maps & charts, both colorful and graphic.
Botanica A selection of botanical images and
images from cultivation

Historie Naturelle My never-ending love of nature in all its glory.
Home a group of maps of where we are "from" or where we spent our childhood, grouped with found objects and the like. What brings you back to Home.
Wanderlust a collection of
things collected from my travels and yours.

This line is supposed to speak to you or someone
you love. It is supposed to make you want to interact
or be apart of it I have designed or vision you the
wearer to inspire me. Let me know where Home is to you or what piece of nature inspires you. Let me see
if I can create a piece of Home for you!

Terrified!

I tried to Login the other day and was unable to access the Blog.I was frantic. You know with my ADHD and all my responsibilities, The phone would ring, I would remember I had to pay a bill, some paperwork needed to be filed, customers coming in and checking on what next step needed to be done with the jewelry pieces. I wasn't sure what I would or could do.
Well it is launched!
My ANTIQUARIAN THREADS line of Jewelry is Launched. I set up a web site to lead it to my Gallery site. They can be purchased on line as well as commissioned.

Long time gone..

" I am a long time in answering your letter my dear Harriet,"
"but you must remember that it is an equally long time
since I received it so that makes us even,
& nobody to blame on either side."
Mark Twain

It has been a while hasn't it! I have been working on too many projects ....some productive others not so. The gallery has slowed again and I have been busy updating my website with new inventory as well as getting ready for our Trip to Italy with the gang next month.
I am excited to say that in the coming months I will be producing a new line of jewelry... a long time in the coming. The last true line of pieces was so many years ago. It has been so long that I don't have photos of them in the computer. The first line was never photographed, though I have one or two pieces from the collection "Hugo Wear" the proceeds sent me to Europe twice . The confluence of the three, travel & jewelry and my true love of the engraved line. Hopefully my initial investment will sell as well as that first line. I have now the ability to sell it on my web site as well in the shop to see personally how well it works.
