 Today is a wonderful day.
It may sound cliche' but that's okay. Today begins a new chapter in our lives. The idea of Babylove Moments Jewelry began on the pages of my sketchbook, and through the course of several years has developed, with the constant and loving support of my husband Tom, into what it is today.
Making art has allowed me a life filled with joy and wonder. I remember as a child watching in wonder as my mother painted portraits in our kitchen at night, and going to bed knowing that in the morning I would wake up and see that white canvas slowly revealing the image of a person. Sometimes it would take her months before the portrait was completed. I could not understand at that time why she couldn't paint a little faster, and why did she have to paint at night after everyone was asleep? I grew impatient. I wanted faster results.
I I never had the gift for portraiture (or the patience) that my mother has. But I learned, as I grew older and maybe a little wiser, that making art (especially if that piece of art is the image or the likeness of a person) is a privilege, an honor, and a responsibility. So now, when I sit down at my jeweler's bench with the image of a child's footprints in front of me, I understand the importance of what it is that I am entrusted to do. And by the way; I prefer to work at night.
