catch the trade winds. complete.

“So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.”   - Mark Twain


Today, I endured my last Jewellery: Structure critique, which happened to go quite well.  Through the exploration of naval architecture in relation to Mark Twain, I have designed and fabricated a sterling silver ring that visually communicates, both literally and metaphorically, the key components of a sailing ship.   I have etched the interior of the band ring with catch the trade winds, in hope of highlighting the significance of wholeheartedly letting down one's bow lines and choosing to let the wind carry and guide one's direction in life.
