I’ve been working on a new piece inspired by Art Nouveau jewelry from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and I didn’t expect it to feel quite so… grounding.
Yes, my process takes time...
But that’s because I love the details. I love when a piece finds its balance, even amid what might appear chaotic; when symmetry feels intentional; When a curl is twisted just enough for the end to rest perfectly against the base wire, forming a seamless circle.
After more than twenty years of wire wrapping, I’ve learned that mindfulness matters more than speed, and that intention can matter more than output.
And THAT is okay.
For me, this kind of work is about listening.
To the wire.
To the design.
And to the part of myself that already knows when something feels complete.
Not everything needs to be rushed. Some things are meant to be shaped slowly and pondered over. As I relearn what makes my style uniquely mine, I'm also rediscovering what I love about this craft. And I’m reminded yet again that the ending is only a destination, but the journey to get there is what makes a story satisfying.
Happy wrapping everyone! And I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. 😊
