Some time back there was a post at mixedmediaartist.com
asking "What does your work say about you?" I wondered how I would answer this. I decided my work does reflect me in many ways that might surprise people who think they know me. Why? Because of the variety. From the rigid yet graceful origami Pinwheel to the free flowing Sea glass to my love of nature's detail in the Avocado Leaves the differences are stark. Some people know me as a detail oriented craft person while others see me only from my cut and dried business encounters. Those closer to me also know me as a compassionate animal lover and gardener. I am not just one of those things. I am a combination of all of them. And I am learning and growing and changing every year.
So what does the jewelry you buy and wear say about you? Is some of it fun loving while other pieces make a bold statement of your beliefs? Are some pieces bright and colorful while others are shiny and classy? Aren't you all of those people?
That is the glory of the years. As time goes by each of us becomes a more multifaceted gem. At times life chisels away at us and other times it gently polishes. But each event in our life adds dimension to who we are. I believe that is a glorious statement and one to celebrate and declare. Let your jewelry speak as to who you are. People will listen with their eyes and with their hearts.
What are you wearing today and what is it saying to the people you meet?
