I am a van dwelling lover of nature and art who is traveling the US, exploring unusual inspirations and introducing new found materials into my designs. This blog is about my journey-finding the techniques, inspiration, and materials needed to adorn the body while expressing the spirit within.
I've done it now. Had my kiln going and didn't realize half the house was on the same circuit breaker. Yikes! I came home to a few of the lights in my house out and the plug my printer was plugged into, GLOWING.
So now I'm taking showers by candlelight, not using my office at all, printing in my kitchen, blogging in bed, turning my living room into my photo studio, and not even touching my kiln.
But hey! At least what I had in the kiln turned out pretty!
I’m Kris Marie Allen--an art loving, tree hugging, van dwelling world traveler who lives to create one-of-a-kind wearable art. I find inspiration in nature and my travels, whether it be the deep royal colors of West African textiles or the gentle cherry blossoms of Japan.
I feel jewelry is much more than just glass, metal, or stone. There is a memory connected to it, such as a string of pearls a mother once owned; an accomplishment achieved, such as a graduation ring; a symbol of something profound, such as a yellow ribbon pinned to the collar of a soldier’s wife; a union made between two people, such as a pair of wedding rings slipped on the fingers of two young lovers. I’m so proud and honored to be a part of the memories, accomplishments, symbols, and unions you will make with my creations.
That is terrific!!! Heehee!!! The description of your art taking over is so familiar! The collection of color is beautiful!!
