Wrought Metal

I am working on some new additions to my line....I love old rusty, torn ,tattered, and used items. I was drawn to the old spanish ironwork as it weathers and becomes oxidized. Thsi of course drew me a conversation with metal. I am trying to erplicate these iron desings in silver...Here are my first attempts..Got any ideas of some irnwork you would like translated into silver? XOX Marie

Now Imagine....

A place where snakes dance to the ramba, spanish guitar music lurks around the corner...birds sing in chorus, and cactus blooms amass with color along a dusty desert floor....welcome to the desert where sustainability, and creativity is a way of life...won't you join me?

This blog is my visual journal. It is the only way to reflect my short attention span, constant need for change, and the flow of nature from season to season which affects me on a grande scale. There will be four distinct themes running somewhat with the seasons, with my jewelry, designs, art, and workshops each is unified by a color palette, textures, and a cultural or historical framework.

The Transformational Art Workshops(TM) pending; are available through private coaching sessions, or I can customize workshops for groups, businesses and schools. Contact me: mariekfrench@gmail.com for more information.
