He carries his tools in a large red bag. He jokingly calls it his purse. Really, it’s just a large canvas bag. But at least he is secure enough to joke about it being a purse.
My tools are in a tool box. It’s black with a red clasp. I feel mysterious when I carry it – only because I know I don’t look like the type of person who carries a toolbox around.
Inside both of our chosen methods of transportation is hours of enjoyment. Hours worth of silver to be cut, soldered, filed, soldered again, filed again, and then polished. Hours of projects. Limitless possibilities.
Inside my tool box are rings which I’m going to eventually drill to add a middle piece and an earring hook. There are also rings for fingers, work in progress. There are small links, and when I feel up to it, I will continue making the chain link bracelet.
Inside his tool bag is a really neat and intricately cut bracelet design. Work so detailed that I only dream and imagine having the patience to execute so finely. His tool collection is much more expanded than mine. And organized too.
Our toolkits both contain many of the same basics, but other slightly different tools. Our tools are more suited to the type of work we like to do. We share, and what we don’t have, the studio likely has in their tool cupboard.
Inside both of our heads are the right tools. Tools of creativity. Tools of patience, and impatience. Designs, waiting to escape. Corners that can be cut. Details to fine to overlook. Ideas waiting to materialize into personalized pieces of art. Beauty from the world as we see it.
