I also have a few unfinished silver pieces and I hate to invest in the silver wire and clasps I need to finish them.Maggie Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438409750330558914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096877040401020537.post-46275255957836799122013-06-04T03:34:19.234-04:002013-06-04T03:34:19.234-04:00I too have lots of the Thai silver and am not usin...I too have lots of the Thai silver and am not using it much in my designs anymore. I have the conundrum as to whether I bought it as an investment or do I still use it in my pieces because I bought it when it was low. I barely sell anymore of the loose beads at shows anymore and because I don't want to undersell the current market price. Also my designs have changed quite a bit as I have migrated over to other metals. I have been making asymmetrical pieces for a good while and kind of surprise myself when suddenly a symmetrical one emerges.<br />You can have symmetrical as long as you have balance. Interesting correlation you made to your condition. Beautiful new pieces!Numinosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464230956125740370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096877040401020537.post-83199527582212732632013-06-03T09:44:39.827-04:002013-06-03T09:44:39.827-04:00Thanks Shel.

Tia is the alpha dog and takes all the responsibility for protecting the house, so he's got it easy. <br />Our human brains are programmed to be comfortable with symmetry. It's always intrigued me that although we're symmetrical on the outside, we're not at all on the inside. More functional that way, I guess.Maggie Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438409750330558914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096877040401020537.post-40172028746718703632013-06-03T09:38:38.836-04:002013-06-03T09:38:38.836-04:00Thank you Eva.

I love reflecting on my older designs; I also see more symmetry and more stringing in my older things (as well as much more silver back in the day too!) as opposed to wire work and more mixed materials these days. I think Tia and Tonka are gorgeous - Tonka looks very comfortable in this pic, too! :-) Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096877040401020537.post-10775607741531386972013-06-03T01:41:01.815-04:002013-06-03T01:41:01.815-04:00Interesting reflections about your creations.
