here’s one more for the weekend -
i love what sarah kate burgess says about her do-it-yourself ring series:
“Jewelry anticipates a collaboration between wearer and maker. The act of wearing activates jewelry. Questions of authorship and value led me to make the Do it Yourself Rings series. Often the preciousness of an object, especially jewelry, has little to do with its market value. I have designed these rings to be made from an inexpensive and fragile material-paper. The preciousness of these rings will come from the experience of making them, and from your own hands. I hope that you enjoy making and wearing these rings.”
there are seven downloadable patterns/instruction sheets to choose from on sarah’s website. though she created the patterns to be used with paper, i have no doubt the idea is adaptable to polymer clay.
i can’t wait to see what ponsawan does with this!
