Sara's November RING A DAY Finds

Rings, rings and more rings. All I've been looking at for weeks are rings. Thousands of rings flash past my laptop screen a day. But I'm not tired of looking at rings yet. I have always loved rings and figure that I always will. The hands that create become the hands that are adorned.

Ring #315

For the past two weeks I have been curating rings for the May Exhibition with my fellow jurors, but tonight I wanted to take a moment to look at the rings that have created since we began our search.

RAD #312 "Button Flower"

Seeing all these rings makes me wonder why I have always loved rings. Rings are personal--imbued with sentiment, emotion and memory. I am not as attached to my earrings or bracelets. Necklaces come close, but rings are my weakness. I don't wear many rings, but the three I wear are very special. Two I have made and are the only pieces that I keep for myself and the other is my wedding band commissioned from a local jeweler. Rings adorn my hands and my hands are my tools to create, make, and fabricate.

"Ring #315"

Shapes draw me in and tell me a story of emotion, beauty and order. Sometimes I have a difficult time speaking about my work. Visual language is not always easily translated into verbal language. Shapes reference memories that are deep and submerged.
