When silver was 6.00 an ounce i just went at it with less trepidition than at 20.00 an ounce. Thank goodness prices are going down again. Also, I think it is a personality preference. Hands on, or mental hands on so to speak. well happy hammeringmetaldreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245555637751110293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214685346800960358.post-87893943938440503282008-11-14T12:42:00.000-08:002008-11-14T12:42:00.000-08:00Somehow doodling never seems to work for me.

Maybe I just don't have enough experience.<BR/><BR/>What works for me is sitting there with the metal and supplies in my hands. Somehow the designs then seem to create themselves.<BR/><BR/>I love your stuff.

I like to draw very simple shapes or intricate filigree like lines. These almost never turn into jewelry though. But meanwhile a few ideas emerge, and I make few sketches about them. Most of them later - when I start making them - turns out pretty awkward or technically impossible (for me at the moment anyways), but some of them will evolve into something that I like.<BR/>I think the common strait is that we need to let our minds free if we want to create something.Pal Goozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673978760236608474noreply@blogger.com
