To go on work in evening dress.

 I don’t remove this chain –said me a women with thick gold chain on
her neck.
Many women have one favorite jewel, something like gold chain, or brilliant earrings, that they like to wear every day, to work and in the evening. I always thought, that it’s the same –what to wear evening dress, even very beautiful as casual wear. I guess –there are only few women, that think –it’s a good teste.
And recently in internet depth, I found good sentence about that. In the end of XIX century in the book for women with name “ What Suit For You” is said: “ Not only your dress have to suit to your jewels, but also the furniture of the room – there where you are.
Not natural, and Not beautifull, when you wear diamonds for the walk, or with home dress. Even artificial diamonds seems ridiculous with such wear.
    SO
   Even favorite does not suit for any situation.

Touched by a magic wand

Under the fire of a torch, silver begins to melt and fuse like shining water... and its final form and texture depend on the moment when I remove the heat. One second, I have a small, flowing river; the next, it has suddenly fallen asleep in midstream. Frozen, but not with ice, it is suspended in motion as though touched by a magic wand."
THAT is "reticulation" for me! It is one of the most unpredictable techniques in making jewelry – thus one of the most exciting.

You think you have a talent?

You think you have a talent? Then you must do something with it! You do not have the right NOT to use it…

Painting is an art. And art is a power that should be aimed at developing the soul. If art does not do this job, the abyss that separates us from God is left without a bridge.
The artist owes his talent to God and has to settle this debt. To
do this, he has to work hard, know that he is free in his art but not in his commitment to life. Everything he feels and thinks is part of the raw material with which to improve the spiritual atmosphere around him.
Beauty, whether in art or in a woman, cannot be empty; it has to be at the service of humankind and the world

The Eyewitness

Artist Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested a Catholic nun, the French Minister of Finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel Tower.
Moral of the story: A work of art says far more about the artist than about anything else.
