I got this nice letter by e-mail today, it makes my day… Always nice to here that other likes my blog and the idea behind.
I’m very, very grateful over the kind words!


Dear Paula,

I just want to say how amazing blog you are running. What you are doing is just wonderful, full of inspiration for life and art.
Your photos in your daily life are just art and also related to everybody yet your personal things. I appreciate what you are sharing with us so that we are not isolated in what we do.

In some reason my name was related to your blog may be with klimt02 so that I found your blog. I am so glad to find you in the web and will keep watching what you are doing.

Best wishes,
Myung

Statement of Myung…

My jewellery is an artistic expression within the realm of fashion.
As an art form my jewellery has a purpose in that gives the wearer an object for shaping personal identity. My career as an art curator revealed to me the value of contemporary jewellery art forms. My aesthetic engages sculptural and painterly approaches towards creating art and in doing so the integrity of the form and its surface play a vital role in shaping my jewellery designs.
Oriental Calligraphy, which I have practiced since a young girl, has always fascinated me in how the brush stroke touches and enlivens the surface of a paper or fabric.
Black ink lines and patterns often reveal meaningful symbols, letters or poetic landscapes. Calligraphy is now vital for the creation of my new art work.
I also enjoy working with natural materials, fabric, fibre paper, wood, glass and stone in combination with precious metals.
The essence of each material has its own character and offers many unique and different shapes, colours, patterns and textures.
Early in my artistic life I focused on matching fabrics and fibres with metal.
I now understand why I was interested in these materials which attract and affect my current creativity.
Materials have their own voice and they speak to me in a way that I must listen and follow.
I continuously endeavour to listen to this voice and embrace them in my jewellery.
