The homeless duck

Pendant "Remembering the Marlin"

The beautifull shine of the ice

Pendant "The swift sailing"

This pendan was created as part of the course I was taken, was the design I choose for the chase practices.

I think is a simple design a mast cross by different size silver wire, every chase are 90 degree I mean, any complication, I have to be focus on technique and do it well. Again all my energy is focus on technique and listening the teacher, no matter the design, as happen with other pieces on my collection. In this way the pendant is made by itself during the accomplish goals.

The three chase was well done and finally took time for draw the design, I took the pencil and the paper and try to maintain me focus drawing lines and then the swift sailing was there. The sails tense because of the wind blow, that tens sails which impulse our lives forward. That´s the way I began to make the small sails and then I had to confront the challenge of soldering all pieces in its finally position. Some sails in one position, some in other, remembered me the different ways of our route and the times we have to stop or change our paths in live. I had to face the torch, the soldering process and the flame in order to accomplish the challenge and fix permanently the sails.

Finally, all sails were in the correct place, then I had thinking in adorn the piece and accomplish the new challenge to learn how to made a besel and put the stone in place, this beautifull obsidian stone.

When I finished, I felt proud of me looking the piece, !it was really beautiful !, much than it looks on paper.

Now the piece are far far away in somebody else hands, she is enjoying it and I hope the wind blow over the sails make the right impulse to her live and taken her directly to accomplish her dreams.

One night of art in Costa Rica ...

The Pendant "Life with green movement"

This piece is one of my favorites, the Stone which decorates it is a amazing drop of amazonite with gorgeous and variable green color. I have to confess that I was looking for this stone for a long time, since I saw a beautiful piece made by a friend with a natural amazonite. The green charmed me. This stone, natural or polish took all my attention, the texture, the colors, is so beautiful.

Well, when this small strone arrived to my hands and in the moment I only could think "Ahhh!, now what can I do with this?", jajajajajaja, we ask for something and then, when it arrived to us we didn´t know what to do... The first thing that I did was see it and see it again... The stone made me a surprise, I only look at it watching the colors, the shape, each face of the stone with its own message. In that moment an idea came to me!.

Obsviously, the plate which holds the stone might to be in movement, like many of my pieces, then I decided to curve and made some texture, breaking the monotony. This piece needs the changeable movement which generate evolution, the evolution which represent the change we do during our lives, that change we have to accept it in order to adapt us and make us become and individual as a part of a global society.

Then, I don´t wanted put the stone over the plate, I thought the beautiful stone has two beautiful faces and it will be interesting to work and make this stone float freely, that is the way to born the bevel with the wire which support the stone.

When I saw the finished piece I felt real satisfy, is so beautiful!. I obtained my goal supporting the stone freely.

I hope you like it !

Things to Think

This we know,
All things are connected
like the blood
which unites one family ...


Whatever befalls the earth,
befalls the sons and daugthers of the earth
Man did not weave the web of life;
he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web,
he does to himself
