I wanted to write about chaos, but couldn't think of anything original to say. I wrote about the origins of the word "chaos" on my Wordcraft editing blog. But when it came to writing about actual chaos in any meaningful way, everything I wrote seemed so . . . predictable. The world is in chaos - it certainly is. Learning to live amidst chaos - yeah, we've all been there. Embrace the chaos - cliche monitor going ding, ding, ding!
Why chaos? I like the word, it's rhythmic with a nice pivot, and it's a sneaky way to show you my latest creations. I've been making brooches in a chaotic fashion, and it's fun! Much like nature, the colors and wires create their own order and their own beauty. But since my verbal imagination didn't seem up to par, I decided to use quotes from other people in this post.
If you want to see more of these brooches - they are for sale - pop over to my Muse Marketplace page.

This last one is sort of honey-colored, so I'm linking it up with the TAG Gallery blog - Anne has set up a link-up around the color of honey. Check it out!

These are so chaotically beautiful! xo
ReplyDeleteOh Val. These are really beautiful. I especially like Frog Pond. If I were a jewelry wearer which alas I am not, I would be piling this chaos on my bosom.
ReplyDeleteI love your jewel jumblies and that you've attached your brooches to chaos. I love that word, the a and o side by side. I don't think art attempts to bring order out of chaos, but rather attempts to take the order out of order to reveal the underlying and pervasive abyss. Great quotes, Val! I like the Kaos in Get Smart too.
ReplyDeleteYes, KAOS and CONTROL! I always wanted a shoe phone.
DeleteI want The Cone of Silence!
DeleteWatched that show all the time after I got home from school - yes, a cone of silence would come in very handy
DeleteVal, these are gorgeous. Oh the beauty of chaos!
ReplyDeleteLove these chaos jewels. I think the last (most chaotic?) is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks a BUNCH for linking to the TAG Blog. I think I'll "curate" Honey links with the TAG artists. They don't "get" it, and I feel compelled to do it for them. I'm so bossy.
Val!!!! Beautiful, beautiful pieces you've created. And....if your bead collection is anything at all like mine; you've been creating them out of chaos. Escher's quote really resonates, though I like them all.
ReplyDeleteoooh, those little bits of wearable chaos are very cool. Love how you are experimenting with creative outlets.
