<br />
attached is some photos I took on my day out this week, it was such a beautiful
sunny day outside and my journey was brought about with thoughts of our
project. I sometimes like to visit </span><a href="http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/Royal-Burgh-of-Culross/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Culross</span></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">; I grew up in the village next to it
so I spent a lot of time playing in this tiny village. It has a history to it
with abbey ruins, cobbled streets and a rugged coast line...I love the smell of
the sea and I always feel at home there.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Sitting on the harbour wall I thought of the land half-cut with the sea, the
tide out showing the treasures usually hidden underneath. The silent water
rippling, edging closer to my feet sparkling like precious diamonds. The sun
was so bright it burned my knees; hazy skies...I could sit all day. A black
bird stopped by long enough for me to see. I spoke to a stranger as if he were
my friend, talking about memories we held of the place we sat. Couples walk
past hand in hand to the song of joyful birds. Walking upwards to the ruins
where the hiding places were, I pause and remember.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As you know I have hurt my wrist...very frustrated am I! However it is giving
me time for thinking and doodling (being doing this today), still working on the thoughts of containment there has been so much inspiration
from your recent delivery and have started a piece called 'Room for Two' - I
say started but have made a model in paper before I really move forward in
metal (its the only thing my wrist can handle haha!) I have started marking my
metal to make crease lines so the folds are have sharper edges rather than
curved so it’s more like a box shape but had to stop but it should be finished
by next week. I love how you have considered the visual aspect of your work; it’s
been amazing to look and has made me smile.</span><br />

Whilst working today I had some easy music playing in the background...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TENV8IhpZ2A" target="_blank">like this one</a><br />
<br />
Using words and photos as your inspiration can be quite open but I have chosen to consider certain parts of the poetry and certain thoughts within my designing process.<br />
<br />
Taken from one of my favourite poems that Bruce has sent here is some of what I have came up with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJFzDlkeZEtHY7rAmtoLgz2NKsjIc9Qy7K04pz4YDcLKFeUz8cSEQk5xC0xQVSlhNHiQT14GqfiurJwkJEVgEVFKxl7saTn4DIffeAFPmUVR7vOWE7g3-DVB378ThY1PW6uO66tCOtiGU/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJFzDlkeZEtHY7rAmtoLgz2NKsjIc9Qy7K04pz4YDcLKFeUz8cSEQk5xC0xQVSlhNHiQT14GqfiurJwkJEVgEVFKxl7saTn4DIffeAFPmUVR7vOWE7g3-DVB378ThY1PW6uO66tCOtiGU/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<a href="http://mollyginnelly.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/wandering-thoughts.html" target="_blank">Wandering thoughts</a> over the past few weeks has set me on track for what I would like to achieve for Farlin, designing on paper was a little confusing at the start of the month so I decided to play around with metal...sampling some ideas I had in mind some of which I was happy with and others not.<br />
<br />
Bruce and I have been emailing and had a skype chat recently, it was lovely chatting and it put us en route to what we would like to achieve and what our inspirations where for different parts of the project, I think we are both really looking forward to the outcome!<br />
<br />
Reading through the poetry Bruce sent me was lovely (especially with a cup of tea) and made me think about what he was trying to portray in his work....I was a bit worried in case I read into things in a different way than what he intended but we both agreed that this was not important..."take from it what you will". <br />
<br />
Bruce asked if I could write out the poetry in my own writing and send this back to him, I really enjoyed doing this and found it quite therapeutic. Rewriting his words also gave me a greater understanding into the poetry he had kindly written.<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bruce liked what I sent, he remarked on the torn paper I had used...there's something very satisfying about ripping paper, it always reminds me of rugged landscapes; almost like the photos sent of Foula.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Usually working full steam, I have taken a few weeks to consider projects I am working on, course work and the dreaded hand in dates for college Most importantly over the past few months I have been develop new work and techniques that I would like to work with.<br />
<br />
With my timetable sorted the next few months should be busy...very busy. With my college course ending this summer I have wondered what do I do next...tap dancing on pavements for the passers by, go full time self employed and sell my socks off, maybe try to gain employment in a jewellers or better still an internship with a jeweller? <br />
<br />
We will soon see what is in store...hopefully whoever or whatever happens will understand my need for copious amounts of tea and chocolate throughout the day.

A lovely parcel was delivered yesterday...thanks Bruce! I had been eagerly anticipating its arrival and I could not have been any happier on seeing the contents. Isn't it lovely to see a writers work in their own handwriting? Its almost like a sneaky peak inside their diary...<br />

</div>The word 'fragment' is probably one of my favourite descriptives. A piece or part of a picture being used for sourcing material along with found objects and broken thoughts are definitely the way I had wished our project to begin.Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06453196459553127589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799471469241037399.post-32643815983102561992012-02-21T08:05:00.003+11:302012-02-29T00:35:16.356+11:30Emails...So...Bruce and I have been emailing since my last post and I must say I am very excited about our venture. I bought a nice sketch book to put his poetry and pictures in and am looking forward to filling the pages; there is nothing quite as scary as an empty sketch book! <br />
<br />
Bruce mentioned that the place in the photo he sent last time was called <a href="http://www.shetland-heritage.co.uk/foula" target="_blank">"Foula"</a> and he found himself looking at it as he started to write some new work, therefor it is mentioned in a poem he is sending to me. So looking forward to reading his work!<br />

I sent a package to him today, a found key and a tiny spoon I had made last year. I wonder what he will make of these and what he can take from them.<br />

When the package arrived Bruce was very pleased with the contents and mentioned that the key was very 'Alice in Wonderland' and felt that it held a peculiar or personal secret...which is exactly what my intent was! The spoon gave Bruce and Rebecca a giggle most probably because if its 'peeriness' (my Shetland dialect word of the week!)</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Both of the pieces were really chilled out and made me feel quite relaxed whilst doing my course work...nice! Having never heard the music before, I really liked how easy it was to listen to. I think we are on the same wave length and have similar inspirations, however I'm not quite sure if he will like my music tastes quite the same!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The album front on 'The magic place' looked very much as it sounded, really peaceful and quiet</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I also received a photo; a view from his window...wow what a view!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In response I sent Bruce a few pictures taken last year when the snow fell, the view which awaits me every morning when I leave my house...whether its raining, snowing or sunny the garden always cheers me up and leaves me with a feeling of peacefulness.</span><br />

However a fabulous jeweller from Dundee - no names mentioned...Dougie Kinnear aka 'be a sponge not a horse' - pointed me back in the direction of the application and so thats exactly what I did. Lucky enough to be accepted I am looking forward to the process and inspiration that will come from my new partner in crime Bruce Eunson.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Bruce is a dialect co-ordinator and promotes the use of such across Shetland in schools to teachers and pupils alike, he translates popular literature into shetland dialect, his blog can be found </span><a href="http://www.scotslanguage.com/articles/blogs/31" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">. He is very passionate about writing poetry and has been writing from a young age. </span><br />

<br />
Still trying to find my own style....my own thing.<br />
<br />
Hmmm, I have it but sometimes just cant seem to get it on a page.<br />
<br />
Actually.....I have two styles - this being the problem. <br />
<br />
Designing my college pieces follow a strict design process, I love the designing part but my designs always seem to end up as something I would not wear myself - how can I enjoy making something I wouldnt wear myself? Maybe I shouldnt enjoy it, after all it is supposed to be challenging. Dont get me wrong I love the jewellery I make - all of it...if I could keep it all I would, but designing and making at home is more fluffy, I can relax (have a cuppa), take my time and go with the flow...no need to justify why I have designed something...I just need to like it. The design process is there...the code is still followed but in my own little way...sometimes even in my pyjamas.<br />
<br />
The problem is that I want to collaborate the two styles but am finding it difficult to merge both into one attractive collection, how do I mix classic contemporary with modern coolness.<br />
<br />

I try to take pictures when I have time but sometimes I dont think about it until afterwards.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Even things such as doing the garden (not my most enjoyable activity) can take on new forms. Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the good weather and start the garden tidy up...on go my new fuschia pink gardening gloves and wellies and out I go.</div><br />

Its been so busy lately I've not had much time to look at anything! Using this as further inspiration for my recent works I decided that it would be nice to incorporate this picture into some jewellery pieces I am making for Culross Gallery.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9r2LNnfMv49SNnL20azvwTOWBCFiB4_2LWwA1deMd4GXCwtJYj76OgaIiuLIKc4cwWeLby964zWCrPWlny4Z79sNfrCLbaLP94UgI68azZDwfB7WJ5DMH4a-fsKWxXIgHGYRxHQVITYo/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a> <br />

<br />
One of our new classes is based on alternative materials.....something I have not been excited about in previous years! This year I have decided to embrace this new learning and experiment with new materials and new techniques...I'm sure I could do more but am sometime limited within my own personal taste of clean lines and 'tidyness'! <br />
<br />
Materials that I could use are almost endless...what could be done with them limitless. Here is a photo of a new piece I have recently made. Materials used were sterling silver round wire to make the chain and formica for the colour inserts and the huge pendant (a scale that would be far too expensive in silver!)<br />

I dont like doing things by halfs!<br />
<br />
Trying to organise for my upcoming exhibition at the Collins Gallery in Strathclyde, I have 9 pieces left to make so must get my designs finalised by Sunday so I have plenty of time for making them. I am really looking forward to the exhibition, its been an ambition for quite a few years to participate in something this. So happy! I have an interview with the college and our local newspaper on Monday about the exhibit so we'll see how that goes!<br />

It took me so much longer than I expected to make this piece, it was such a challenge as its such a large piece...however the outcome is fabulous.</div>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06453196459553127589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799471469241037399.post-13174258767612765002011-02-22T07:44:00.000+11:302012-02-05T07:53:54.276+11:30New Jewellery - Kinetic |Ring<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabI00IW6fcbhDF2n2eLOk2sxiCVE2O2pASunWkpBfYHNqUxofs-Fh6tgSQjO11nzzVfvhToTLiFsOSUFiSNlW1DBJ1xqCU4IASy3pNU_cigRVAPUEoC_aDj726RXCIpT7oPyD9M0mdi8/s1600/Kinetic+Ring+Sterling+Silver%252C+Oxidised+and+Gilded.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabI00IW6fcbhDF2n2eLOk2sxiCVE2O2pASunWkpBfYHNqUxofs-Fh6tgSQjO11nzzVfvhToTLiFsOSUFiSNlW1DBJ1xqCU4IASy3pNU_cigRVAPUEoC_aDj726RXCIpT7oPyD9M0mdi8/s200/Kinetic+Ring+Sterling+Silver%252C+Oxidised+and+Gilded.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This ring was designed from a photo I had from the building in Culross Abbey....its strange how the design process works! I really love this piece, really pleasing on the eye...when its not worn it looks like a little piece of sculpture.</div><div align="justify"></div>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06453196459553127589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799471469241037399.post-54808421592055044542011-02-22T07:35:00.000+11:302012-02-05T07:53:54.277+11:30My first blog!Hurrah! I have finally got round to setting up my blog page, hopefully I will have some time to use it!<br />
<br />
My aim for the blog is to show previews of new jewellery pieces I have made ready for sale or exhibition, hopefully (if time allows) I will also post instructions on 'how to' for others to have a look and maybe have a go themselves :0)<br />
<br />
Recently I have also got into the techno world of facebook - yes, I know its been around for a while now...maybe I'm just getting old!Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06453196459553127589noreply@blogger.com0
