The project “Schmucknomadin-weltlernen” can be translated into “Jewellery Nomad-worldlearning”.
It started in summer 2007. It combines two of my biggest passions: Travelling and jewellery making. Knowing that my husband and I would go on a world trip starting the 1st of July 2008 I used the previous year to prepare myself and my jewellery developing process for the adventure. So far I can divide the project into two phases.
In phase one I started working with only a limited number of tools, like a saw, a hammer and pliers. It gives me the freedom to work and create my jewellery everywhere. And it keeps my backpack small ;-) During this year I travelled into my “inside” world. The time I am not travelling in the “outside” world I discover my own universe through meditation and Yoga.
I love to work with wood. Wood as a source of inspiration which I can find everywhere gives me the opportunity to explore the whole wide world in my own special way.
Wood is a very lively material and it changes all the time, it is a never ending process. That is why you can compare wood and making jewellery to travelling. Both are a process. Everything is movement, is flowing. It is important to research, discover and cross new borders, making new experiences. The process is essential, no matter whether in making jewellery or when travelling. Everything is transforming all the time.
Since the first of July 2008 the project Jewellery Nomad is in phase two, the travel around the world. This blog is for all the impressions, thoughts and new experiences I had, for new friends I made and, of course, for all the new developments and jewellery I am making and creating on the way.
Good travels :-)
