Faint colors in white gold make mesmerising jewellery.

Making fancy not shiny.

A compact orb is an illusion. It is an exercise in the ingenious layout of stones, ie. controlling viewpoints of the ring, mixing small and big stones, setting breathing gaps through varying the moonstones with a lone sapphire here and there.

The Moor by Robert Darch This was the first image that entranced me. The hand that reaches out that you cannot hold. Photos of ‘The Moor’ so sur/real. The artist intervenes massively in the space by creating the stage and using artificial light. How much, I don’t care, but only its climate colder than me …

Before we set a stone, I always photograph it first.

I discovered this by chance, finding it very useful in coming up with ideas. Design is in anything when more than one thing comes together. The lens is that one more.

I find that looking at photos you look at light differently. Light from an object to the eye is different from light in study. Color study must consider both.

We just came back into town. Boy am I tired. How could a holiday be thus?

I got many books and art supplies. We also sat in parks and watched dogs.

Some pieces of our work this month.
