…making the common pebble extraordinary

Another theme we are exploring this year is called “stix and stones”. At first we wanted to create some jewelry that incorporated the driftwood that we found into our beach rocks jewelry. Although we found fascinating pieces of driftwood in great abundance, we never seemed to be able to put the found wooden objects and the beach pebbles together in a pleasing and ascetic manner.  So this whole project theme was redirected.  We avoided the direct translation of found wooden objects and beach rocks.  Instead, what we found ourselves doing was recreating or more properly, mimicking, the sticks and twigs that we found into precious metals. These facsimiles were a much more familiar material to us.  These precious metals were more easiely manipulated and yielded more quickly and exactingly to our hands and thoughts than any wood could.  The result was “stix and stones”.  A playful incorporation of the driftwood theme and the the common beach pebble.
