The jewelry you see here are sort of pilgrims. It is as if they absorbed the spirit of traveling, had adventures, and became suntanned and weather-beaten. They have rough spots, little cracks, and weird curves. As if they were shaped by the wind, water, and sunlight from being in the natural environment for a long time.

| about the process
In making this jewelry, I use an ancient method of decorative treatment of ceramics. Obvara is a 12th Century raku firing technique using only fermented flour, water, milk or beer. It was developed in the Baltic region of Eastern Europe.
I take a scorching, red-hot piece from the oven. I immerse it into a solution that looks like a witch’s potion. There is a sizzling sound, smoke rises, and I quickly remove the piece into the air. Various patterns start to appear on it, and I put it into the solution again, and I do it until the pattern seems finished to me. Such patterns have extravagant outlines and are always unpredictable. Each pattern is unique! The same is true about the shapes on which the patterns are applied.
