Therapy

I love typography.

In my last project I incorporated typography into my jewellery by making mini books.  For my current project I am going to try and carry on a similar theme.  One particular suggestion made to me was to buy some old books and fold them, rip them, scrunch them etc.  I have seen it done quite a lot before but thought I would give it a go.  



I love the end result but equally so I loved doing it, I found it so therapeutic.

Questions to challenge the mind

1. How important is the body?

2. Does jewellery need the body to make it jewellery?

3. Can jewellery be art in its own right?







Answers on a postcard please!

Making progress

I have mastered how to alter the image at the top of my blog - after 3 hours of driving myself insane with it last night I decided to ask a friend this morning & he told me how to do it within minutes so thank you to him.

I am at the very beginning of my new project so no photos as yet to show so I thought I would upload some photos of my jewellery from the project I finished a few weeks ago.  





This is a series of mini wearable books that explore the art of typography through the use of quotes by known writers.  Enjoy!

My very first post!

I thought blogging or at least setting up a blog would be a lot simpler than it has been.  I still haven't mastered how to resize the image at the top.  I will have to reattempt it tomorrow.

Anyway, I am Elle.  I have set up this blog to share my jewellery, what inspires me, what challenges I come up against with my designs and making and generally what I love in life.
