Jewelry Making Course...Day 2

Last Friday I attended another Jewelry Making Course. I wanted to try and make a ring for something different. I am not a ring guy but I thought the experience would be valuable and it truly was.

I started off with a design that I could implement several techniques. The process of creating a design was not the challenge it is when the instructor told me that I would have to use math. The first reaction was shocked because I did not even consider that and it seemed that I reverted back to my troubling times during school and instantly had those feelings of lack and I was not a good student as my classmates. Then a touch of fear had set in and I began to felt helpless. The gentle Master Thai teacher helped me through this part of it with the calculations. When I was growing up after the experience I had regarding my mother many teachers avoided me like I was a plague so that had compounded my feelings of inadequacies. The growth continues and it affirmed within me the importance of my life's work with the Kidz Hearts Foundation.

Anyways the magic started and I turned a piece of silver into a part of my creative process. The experience is unmeasurable as much of my experiences here in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

It was difficult to get a good enough photo image of the ring to add to this post for the "bling" was blinding!!! Smiles
