Who
among us can’t relate to the notion? While
we’re embroiled in our currently bustling lives, many of us carry along with us
a pocket full of wishes, hopes and dreams for our potential future. If we work hard and stars align some of these
aspirations may actually even come to fruition.
Some may get a little singed on the edges. Many rest in the flame so long they merely
turn to cinder, rather than turning into the thing we want most for them to
become.
This
collection is about the journey that our hopes take with us. Its’ about the desires we actually
realize. It’s about the delicate fringes
of the wishes that get a little crispy.
And it’s about the hearts of the dreams that simply turn to ash.
So
often when I’m using my jewelers’ torch I think of these notions. I say I like burning things and there’s a lot
of reasons why. I like the randomness of
papers’ burned edges and I love the effect heat has on metal. But mostly I like the trip my mind goes on
whenever I’m working in the studio. I
think about all of my wishes, my hopes and my dreams and how so many of them
are truly coming to fruition. I also
think about how charred some are on the edges.
You see, the road to get them where they are today has been a little toasty
at times. And what do I do with my
dreams that that turned into embers? I
leave them alone and move on because somehow I really can understand and accept
that they simply were not meant to be.
Come
visit Amiro Art & Design. There my
Wishes, Hopes and Dreams collection will be featured during the months of
October, November and December. It’s not
just jewelry. I do other creative things
too. You just may not know that yet.
Thanks
for reading!
