You know, serendipity is a funny concept. Or maybe it’s a fate concept. Either way, the fact that I failed to delete a page from the website when the piece sold (even though I deleted all references/links to the page within the website) was a serendipitous thing. Nothing ever really disappears from the web and neither did the page showcasing the piece I called Stamen.
Stamen - the original
It was one of my first forged pieces – I was just learning to shape and had gotten a little bored with just rounding stuff out so I was playing around and a petal emerged. Hmm, I said, and promptly bedecked it with a slim stack of garnet rounds. And, tomorrow, 7 of them will be going off to a bride in New York for her bridesmaids.
Stamens for the bridesmaids
I’ve never made 7 of any piece before – I have a hard enough time making two of each earring – so it was an interesting challenge to get things relatively uniform (it is handmade, after all, perfect uniformity shouldn’t ever come into the picture – where would be the art in that?).
Here’s wishing all the best to the bride for a wonderful wedding and a long, happy, and fulfilling life with her groom!
Cheers,

Beautiful job!
