Shigoto Shigoto....

Shigoto ( 仕事 ) means "Work" in Japanese, and that is all I have been doing since about 6am! It's only the afternoon and I already feel like my eyes are puffy :( So I'm taking a break to show some photos of what I've been doing! 

One of the greatest feelings is when a design from my brain goes from sketch to reality, so here is a fun before and after of just that!

1) dreaming sketches for the shape of the frame

2) After soldering a clean up

3) Ta Da! Finished piece! (sounds a lot faster and easier than it was...)

This piece is part of my spring collection and is handcrafted from start to finish in Sterling silver and hand pierced brass.

It's back to work!! Shigoto, Shigoto...
