Marks of the Maker
Share
This morning as I was setting my yesterday’s creation I noticed a few little imperfections. It was fresh out of the tumbler and I had done a good job of polishing before I even put it in the tumbler. Dilemma- Should I try to removed these tiny marks? If I did that the piece would lose it’s patina and it’s lovely polished finish.
I set the stone and decided that a fully hand made piece shows the marks of the hands of the maker. My hands have had a lifetime of creating things, they show the wounds and scars. My work shows an occasional wound and scar also. That’s the way it is and always will be.
