Todays spiral is a silver broche I once saw. The spiral holds a ruby in the center and is ment for threading directly onto a knitted jacket or top. Isn't it a simple yet beautiful design. It's made by a Norwegian silversmith and I can't remember her name.
This spiral-form were much used in clocks and doorlocks, but new designs has overtaken. The broch shows a new way of using an old form, which I really like.
There is something calming with this spiral form, even and round over and over again.
There has been questions on what I will do with all these small paintings. First of all I learn from making them and that's good enough for me. I will probably frame some of them and use them in some way or other.
Tomorrow I'll make another one.
I love spirals! They have always been my favorite, because they are so ancient and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
You know I love spirals, I use many swirls and spirals in my art work. They are truly lovely, whimsical and make me think of spinning in circles like I did when I was young. I am loving your themes and your exploring. What a fantastic idea. Maybe you should have blog themes that everyone can join in on. It's a great idea to get people out of their zone and try new things.
ReplyDeleteI love your spiral drawings so far, they are very sweet and simple, yet beautiful.
Happy day to you! :)
