That is a love and dedication for your craft and a boon to your talent with pieces such as these! Just amazing!
Estoy muy feliz de haberte encontrado! Me encanta su arte! Es mi inspiración en algunas de mis piezas, Gracias!
I have always been fascinated with Melanie Muir’s work. I didn’t know all her pieces were Mokume Gane, although I will admit that all the pieces of hers I’ve ever seen were Mokume Gane. I have multiple templates and texture mats from her designs and I use them all the time, especially the textures. They definitely are very organic looking. It was wonderful to see an interview and get a little peak into what inspires her.
Beautiful insight into what inspires you. Your pieces look amazing!
I'm in love with you. you are an awesome artist. and your art is perfection. keep up the good work.
Thank you so much that's very interesting and I love ❤️ you're work
oh no too bad I missed the event! Looks very interesting
She is very talented.
