Lotus Ring to not lose it and keep what I do personal...
Well I was making a ring the other day, but during class it was a request from someone and honestly well I’ve been at this for 5 months I’m not a jeweler yet and some things leave me clueless..
I had a request for a ring and I took the request to my teacher to see how it could be done, and I started and spent hours and hours trying to get through it and then my teacher told me about why we have to have our place.
So this is the situation if someone asks me for a piece and if it’s so time consuming that I’ll leave personal projects behind, then is just not a good idea.
I told that person that I was not going to able to make the ring for her yet, and there was no problem, and then I made me this..
If you make piece and that person wants one with a variation, wants the piece, wants one like it.. it’s good. But if someone tells me what to do how to do it.. then where do I put my personality on it ? Where is my touch? That thing that says I made it. These includes replicas, some people even get pictures of others people’s designs and say : “ I want this”
This is a ring I’m wearing daily with my version of a lotus flower, the ring is to remind me to work on my ideas and to try to keep it an art, personal, even if I make less money.
Lotus Ring
The lotus rises from muddy waters to bloom as a radiant flower, captured here in this detailed ring.
The double layered lotus was made from sterling silver sheet – I hand sawed and formed the lotus shapes, soldered them together and to the band, and meticulously gave each layer a different finish. The inner layer is polished to a high shine, while the base layer has a satin finish for contrast.
