Connected from spiralstone on Vimeo.
Often my jewellery is about cycles and rhythms. This collection is about being connected. There may be no loop, no beginning or end. It is about links and bonds that are here now.
I am connected to my children through love.
I am connected to my family by blood.
There are people I am connected to through friendship.
I am connected to a community of home schoolers and attachment parents through beliefs and ideals.
I am connected to a worldwide community through a love of handmade, through nurturing the craft and skills of individuals.
These connections are like overlapping ripples in a pond. Rippling outwards, across the world, or just down to the local shops.
We are connected somehow. You are here now making a connection with me, from mind to mind, across time and space.
This work began as an idea, came together as a whole piece, and now will go out into the world as a symbol of the way in which we are all connected.

Each ring is 25mm x 25mm and they range in size from 5 ¾ to 9 ½ .
I’ll be listing them in my Etsy store tomorrow night (Sydney time).

Enjoyed the movie, I am just speechless for your amazing creativity and imagination that translated so beautifully on metals! Missed you dear!
Wow, Michele, these are really amazing. I love how each of these pieces, which will likely end up on fingers around the world, are all part of the same lovely picture. I hope I am lucky enough to get one! I am not ashamed to say I will be stalking the etsy store :)
So beautiful and amazing, you are one talented lady:) Love being able to physically see the connections. Truly inspiring.
So smart and sooo beautiful! You are truly talented!!!
Michele...this was definitely worth waiting for...they are absolutely fabulous...I have never seen anything like them...beautiful!
Michele,
What an extraordinary idea...and how magnificently you have brought it to life. I am--almost--speechless. (And the video was so gorgeous to see!)
Like Feri, I would LOVE them all! =) But as Kelly said, there is something lovely about knowing each piece will most likely have a different owner somewhere around the world.
Each collection, I feel I have seen some extraordinary...and then your next collection is complete, and I am awestruck once again.

PS. Did I tell you a new character arrived unexpectedly on my page? It took me a few days to realize she is you.
That is exquisite. Just astounding work.
