What a great video! Thank you so much for posting it!… I felt so identified with it.!… I think I could hardly count the houses I have lived in the last 10 years or so… but everywhere I lived in (no matter for how short) I had the strong need to do a little something with the place…. to make it ‘ home’ (ok, it may also have to do with being an architect!)… Holland is where I live now, but I still find it difficult to find myself at home in this country, so a big part of my life takes place at my own house… Specially now, having two small children, my house has become such an important place to me… In my house, I always, truly feel at home:
house before
Home now! (well, we may have done more than a little something here…)
Hi Andrea You can see that I have been very influenced by others in this blog!! This drawing is linked with one of Leonor. H. This shapes suggest me ideas…birds create a group while they are migrating, but for us, migration it’s a personal matter. As individuals. We are alone, in front on new realities, in front of unknow territories. We have to invent ourselves in front of a new human group. Like you said, we have to fit in a new dress, or costume? Puedes ver que estoy muy influenciada por los otros de este blog! Este dibujo está linkeado con uno de Leonor H.- Estas formas me han sugerido ideas…Los pájaros crean un grupo cuando están migrando, pero para nosotros la migración es un asunto personal, actuamos como individuos. Estamos solos frente a nuevas realidades, ante un territorio desconocido, así mismo tenemos que reinventarnos ante un nuevo grupo de personas. Como decías, tenemos que calzar, como quién se hace un nuevo vestido, ¿o disfraz? While I am still waiting Kajsa reply, I thought about sharing this video with you all. It has been made by a brazilian friend (Milena Galli) who has studied in Germany and for me it translates this need of a home, wherever we are. It also talks about the lasting of things, which I think is also a great question when we are not in our country and also has to do with jewellery and all sorts of creation: should things last? Well, I love the video. I hope it can be inspiring. Hola a Todos!!! Hello everyone !!!!! Hello Susanne!!!!!!I’m late!!!! I was on vacations until the last Friday, and then I had urgent work in the studio, I’m sorry, now I am here ready to work! and start this project so cool .!!!! I’m just trying to figure it out how the blog works oxoxox sam
Sorry, you had to wait! I shall post my introduction tomorrow here. Would you do it as well? Or would you prefer e-mail contact first? We met briefly in Munich, where I had an exhibition “Permission to grow up” with 3 other Estonian jewellery artists. And I also remember you from Amsterdam, when you where in Sandberg Institute and I was exchange student in Rietveld(1997)! I am looking forward to work with you! Warm greetings from rainy Tallinn!

This is Berlin in summertime!!! Before I lived for 13 years in the Netherlands mainly in Amsterdam, I did my studies there and all my roots of jewel making are grown in this city. I also love Amsterdam.
This is another side of Berlin To walk through the city is like travelling, like being on a journey and this I like a lot. You can find so many fascinating locations here. It is inspiring, the same like it is to be part of this project, it is also very inspiring! To meet people on this platform, to discover a lot of names I have heard earlier and now I get the chance to know more about them in a quite personal way. It is a big, interesting and exciting project. Great that you, Valeria and Andrea, took the effort to start it up and also to involve me in this!
(I come from the guts of an old Soviet war tank… I used to be an engine, now I seem to have an identity crisis..I could be a lobster, an alien or a useless pile of aging metal… or all of them together…) ketli this is a message to see how this works and if it works Hello Ketli, How are you we are going to be partners for this project.

Jorge Manilla : Introduction Hi all, I’m Jorge Manilla I was born in Mexico city where had my first contact with jewellery. After I finished my studies I went to belgium to discover a new point of view about jewels. It was not easy and sometimes very confronting ,but I’m very glad I made this desicion, This blog will be a fantastic opportunity to tell you how this change came; thaks Valeria and Andrea for all the organization. Jorge Hi Carolina, You are right about traveling – even when not everything is clear or known, we move within clear possibilities: the distinct time frame of a few days or weeks and also our openness during that time of what we could do and possibly undertake. And really clear is that we don’t have to fit in and make it our home. That effort isn’t at all necessary since we return again at the end to where we came from.
I couldn’t upload a photo with the text. I’m learning how to do it. I was born in Mexico City and after finishing my studies in Graphic design I lived for a while in Eugene, Oregon, USA. Good Moring! We are very pleased to introduce you to La Refaccionaria, the gallery where Walking the Gray Area will materialize as an exhibition. Buenos dias!

Hi Andrea: I have been thinking about the differences between migration and traveling. Traveling it’s a decision, were you know the times, and the plans. Vacations usually means traveling, or sometimes we travel for our work, or because we just like it. But, what about migration? He estado pensando en las diferencias entre migrar y viajar. Viajar es una decision, generalmente se planea, está pauteada. Se viaja cuando se está de vacaciones, se viaja por trabajo, por gusto. Pero ¿cuándo se migra? Human migration: the permanent change of residence by an individual or group; it excludes such movements as nomadism, migrant labour, commuting, and tourism, all of which are transitory in nature. (E. Britannica) Travel: To go from one place to another.
She had to travel, in the middle of the harshest winter, the almost 1000 km from Saint Petersburg to Moscow in just three days (when such a trip normally lasted at least seven days). She was packed in a large, ugly (well, not to me, I loved it!) winter sledge, together with two of her maids and they made the trip in just three days! The sledge would only stop to change the exahusted horses for fresh ones. The operation had to be done exactly in three minutes. Elizaveta and their maids had to eat, sleep and even use a golden chamber pot inside the sledge.
They made it. And, in the gates of Moscow, they changed their vulgar sledge for a golden carriage. Elizaveta entered Moscow as an true empress!
Time to go back to home… Пoka, Москва! ,

 collage, LH 2008 Sometimes I get homesick and I realize I AM where I was born… Then, I turn to water, It is always the same water everywhere you go. You know, It actually might be…. A veces extraño mi hogar y me doy cuenta que ESTOY en el lugar donde nací… Entonces vuelvo a ver el agua, Es siempre la misma agua donde quiera que vaya. Saben, probablemente si lo sea… Qualche volte mi manca la mia casa e mi rendo conto che STO dove sono nata… Poi guardo l´acqua. e sempre la stessa acqua ovunque… Sai, probabilmente sia davvero la stessa.
