A little history of the AYA collection...
Vines are such special beings... that wrap themselves around you and never let you go... I can't be sitting at the workbench for the past few days without feeling the irrepressible urge to cut and forge these little leaves....
It seems that a new collection is hatching quite spontaneously, yet I had another idea and the LEAVES earrings were originally a short-lived distraction from this different project... which will wait, or perhaps evaporate on its own, or maybe will seek other less fickle hands to come true ! (I read a few years ago in a book about creativity by Elizabeth Gilbert her reflection on the fact that ideas ultimately do not really belong to us, but rather that they are alive, revolving around us and sometimes choosing us to manifest. But if we don't take care of them enough to make them happen and delay honoring them, they end up getting bored and leaving us for someone else who will finally realize them. I loved imagining ideas as independent and stubborn little beings, unfaithful and determined to see the light of day… and I have already been able to experience this theory firsthand !)
But for the moment, it seems that I am possessed by the Spirit of the Vines and that he's not finished with me yet, my other projects will wait for me patiently... or not.
I often like to say that life is "what happens when you had something else planned", inspiration is the same apparently (and that's what gives it its flavor, being where you don't wait for it and slipping away when you stalk it…)
I am returning to the jungle of my studio with my bewitching vines which, not content with establishing themselves everywhere in my garden to climb all the trees, are now insinuating themselves into the smallest recesses of my brain!
