I have recently come to the conclusion that doing this on my own is just not working out. By this I mean my path to a profession in the jewelry world. I need to go back to school. Meet and connect with other artists. Establish networks that can lead me to where I want to be.
Now the journey is to find the right institution for me.
SCAD, MECA, RISD, MASS Art, Tyler School of Art... the list goes on and on.... so which one is right for me? Which one will I not regret going thousands of dollars into debt for?
So much has happened since I last posted anything in here. I have met many interesting talented jewelers on FLICKR that have allowed me to re examine my designs and my style (which I have yet to define). They are all so generous with their knowledge and experience. Its refreshing. I can only hope that I will be able to help them or offer a good solid piece of advice in return one day.
This blog here is what I hope to serve me as a therapeutic outlet for all my artistic frustrations. I do not mean to whine, well, yes I do. But its better to do it in here then on some poor unsuspecting soul I might pass by on that day that I explode.
But I am glad to report that I a finally feel that I am on the right path. I will find that 'place' for me to continue to grow as a person, as an artist, as a jeweler.
And will keep updating my status in here, even if I am the only one with whom I am sharing!
