Classic Creation Religious Jewelry
Q.I have taken up making jewellery recently and have done a couple of pieces, but the one I created last night I am very proud of. It took about 5 hours, mainly because I was doing some joins I hadn't done before and it took me a while to get the hang of it. I would appreciate it if any body would give me an opinion on what they think!
A."Critical posts may sometimes hurt, but if written intellegently, can also be great teaching tools." Yes, some people who post their work are looking for positive feedback to bolster their own feelings and are taken aback when they get a less than glowing response. I'm fine with critical constructive feedback - but when it's negative and mean spirited - I don't find it useful and tend to ignore it. I'm not sure what I would suppose to be learning from comments such as this "I think I'm going to hang myself now, or maybe I'll just quietly slit my wrists" - How is that constructive? What can be learned from that? As someone relatively new to jewelry design, construction and creation I look to all sorts of experts and ask their opinion regarding my work. I've learned so much from then and have found them to be truly beneficial to my development. By the way, I create jewelry using beads and do wirework. It's not as fulfilling as it once was and am now branching out and will start expanding my knowledge taking silversmithing classes and working with PMC. My inspiration came from looking at the Sundance Catalog while looking at a piece of jewelry that was thinking to myself that "I can do that" and I was right. Would you consider the "artist" featured in that catalog to be true artist? Or are they just "beaders" in your opinion?
