The River isn't just my friend - it's my mother, my grandmother, my sister, my daughter. She is here to tell me that I am right, that I am wrong, that I need to listen, that I need to just be. When I step into her I don't forget to pray for I know what she's capable of and I respect her decisions. At night, when I crawl from her shores, I remember where I have been and I ask of her to soothe the pain of life lessons and to teach me the ways of old. The River isn't just my friend.
Made with love - one of a kind, twisted, bent, set, sawn, etched, fired by my own two hands.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
