The past 4 months I have spent some time with an amazing jeweller in his studio located on Main and 5th in Vancouver. Duko designs can be found at www.duko.ca It has proven to be a challenging and growing experience for me in the jewellery world. I have been able to practice mold making, wax work, soldering, fabrication/design and finishing new silver pieces. I have also had the pleasure to watch closely as Dustin creates beautiful wedding sets and engagement rings with gold and diamonds and other gemstones. The new line of jewellery that I have helped to create with him involves organic materials and branches and here are a few photos of the process...soon ready for sale! This includes the jewellers bronze belt buckle, branch earrings and pendants.
A glimpse at the growing process of learning and creating. It seems that progress is the best way to stay motivated. Inspiration comes from the smallest and strangest of ideas. Some of those ideas are frail and need to be worked upon to come into their own fruition, while other ideas are just experiences along the way. It is all my growing vocabulary.
