When I started my journey into making keepsake jewelry, I knew I wanted to be different. I noticed almost every single DNA artist calling their client’s custom add-ins “inclusions.” When speaking about jewelry, especially precious materials, you don’t want to call them inclusions as that means imperfections. (I’m sure I’ve slipped up here and there because that’s what everyone else has referred to them as and it gets drilled in, but I always mean to refer to them as elements.)
Our wording has always been elements because we are one with earth, air, fire, water; thus, custom elements. Having done my own research into jewelry, etc, I realized this was a flaw in how most were wording it. Your customs are not imperfections!!!!!
First Blog Post
I thought it would be fun to put a little section on the site to post things without bombarding my facebook page with random chatter. This way, if people want to read the random thoughts or what’s new in the world of DNA jewelry they can choose to take a look.
This will be a little blog about breastmilk and DNA jewelry in general. Random thoughts, things about preservation, sales, and maybe a bit of real life mixed in because I’m human and have little humans. Moms tend to relate to one another and we could all use a little real life.
I find it important to be as up front and honest with my clients as I can be, therefore, having my own platform where I am not censored by another artist’s rules is helpful for getting my thoughts across.
I will definitely be doing some posts about certain methods, my method, other fads or otherwise dealing with DNA art that I find important to chat about.
Who knows, maybe I will start doing some more lives in the group!
Your artist,
Kate
