My Art History Part 4. Handmade Jewelry

 Hi guys. Welcome to Part 4 of My Personal Art History. Today I want to share the Handmade Jewelry period of my life. It was not planned at all, a total impulsive decision after I had given a little friend a pair of clip on earrings that were broken. So I thought I could find a replacement pair or parts to fix it. Instead, I ended up telling Craig an hour or two later that I was going to start making jewelry and selling it because I had just spent two to three hundred dollars on jewelry making supplies like beads, wire, findings and such. As you will see at first after Craig made me two beautiful jewellery holders, we set up a sales table at a city fair of sorts trying to sell my new jewelry. After a long tiring day, we decided selling that way was not feasible for us. Then I discovered Etsy.com, set up my new shop called A Bergie Creation. It was a blast for ten years selling pieces all over the world. Watch the video to find out why it ended after ten years.

My Art History Part 2. Drawing and Illustration

 


Yay, I was able to get out part two of my art history series. Unfortunately, I tried to type out cosed captions and discovered I am unable to type out all the words in a timely and accurate manner. I tried to do it today and it took me over two hours of making mistakes and then finally ending it before I was done. To check it out here is My Art History ;Painting video here.

Thank you to those wanting closed captions. I wholeheartedly wish I could just click on a button and it would automatically transcribe the script. If anyone is interested in volunteering to transcribe the audio to create closed captions, please feel free to message or email us. Until then, I will continue trying to be mindful of using descriptive titles and/or text to help explain what's happening. And try to type out more in the accompanying vlogs. These days my energy levels are a cause for concern. Always happy just to get the videos completed at all.

Today's video is part two in my Art History Series featuring Drawings and Illustrations.

My Art History: Part 1 - Painting

 


Decided it would be fun to share my personal Art History broken up in parts according to the various media I have got to work with over the course of my life. Part one and two are focused on my number one, main discipline, drawing/illustrating and painting. My hope is to encourage and inspire budding artists of all ages and for those just interested in watching. Who knows, maybe someone will discover they are more creative than they ever realized.
