From the Editor's Desk

This time of year, I always find myself dreaming of lying on a tropical beach soaking up the sun and warmth. A fruity concoction within reach and the air sweet with the scent of tropical flowers. Then reality hits. My son is home today due to a snow day and back to below zero temperatures over night. I am more than ready for Spring to arrive.

Speaking of Spring, we have some fun and colorful trends in store for you along with several pretty heart accessories. Let's face it, a February issue wouldn't be complete without hearts. You'll be introduced to Alan Goldin of Goldin Jewelry in this month's artist interview. Laura Bracken shares her thoughts on personal style. She also shares tips on taking care of your jewelry, part of our Spring cleaning section which also includes creative storage solutions for your accessories and help with cleaning out your makeup bag.

You may have also noticed a different format for this issue of Dress it Up! Magazine. One that I feel makes viewing much easier, especially for those of you reading on mobile devices.

As always, you can tap or click on product photos or the blue text links to visit any of the shops featured in the magazine.

artist interview

ALAN GOLDIN

The flowing lines, sensuous curves and organic shapes of Alan's jewelry invite you in to take a closer look. I'm very happy to introduce you to, Alan Goldin, the man behind the designs.

me: Alan, please tell us a little about yourself and how you got interested in making jewelry?

AG: I remember learning to draw before even learning how to write. My older sister used to draw girls' faces and I just started copying her. In time, my drawings evolved into cartoons (at one point, I had a cartoon strip in a local New York City paper, and a line of greeting cards in some stores, but that's a whole 'nother looong story).

The jewelry evolved along a separate track, but the two things converged when I moved to New York City in the

early 80s and suddenly started looking at my drawings as something on which to base jewelry designs. At the time, I was concentrating on oil paintings. It was kind of an epiphany; I realized I wanted to not only draw my shapes, but take them off the page and hold them in my hand, carry them around with me. I started thinking of jewelry as portable art.

me: Have you taken any classes?

AG: My work evolved from modeling in Fimo, to making molds of the Fimo pieces and casting them in resin. I sold the resin jewelry in a couple of New York

H

boutiques for a while. But the resin was breakable and I wanted to make things that would last, so, after some research, I realized Lost Wax casting was the way to go for me. I signed up for a couple of courses at Parsons School of Design, and fell in love with wax. Everything else I've learned has been by trial and (alot of) error.

I've never taken a metal-fabrication class. There's alot of classical techniques (from stone-setting to granulation) that I've never bothered to learn because I know I'll never want to use them. Likewise, perfection is also not one of my goals. If someone wants something traditional, and perfect, they can already find plenty of that in stores, from Tiffany's to Zales.

me: What are you favorite materials to create with?

AG: For me, it's all about the wax. I love the feel, the smell of it, everything. If I was a big-name designer, I'd just carve shapes in wax and let someone else do all the rest of it. Compared to wax, metal is so unforgiving. It's scary, because I've ruined so many pieces. I know that one false move, one lapse of focus, can make for a fatal mistake that can destroy months of hard work. But I do my own

finishing work, so I have no choice. Lately, however, I've been having some fun with copper sheet and cold connections, mostly because silver has gotten more expensive, and trips to the caster have become more problematic (especially when the caster makes a mistake that destroys something you've worked on for a month). I've also used the copper sheet to make some small sculptures that I like to call "Table Jewelry."

Unlike many designers, gemstones are never the focal point of my designs. I absolutely love gemstones (I think my favorite must be Andalusite), but I think of them as an embellishment, sort of like punctuation, to the design. And I developed my technique of back-setting so that stones would always look like they were emerging from the design, organically, rather than looking like they were stuck on afterwards. I've also been using gemstone beads in place of cabochons or faceted stones; I like putting them on a spindle so they rotate and constantly change, a style I borrowed from the ancient Egyptians.

me: Your designs make me think of lying on the ground on a warm summer day and picking out shapes in the clouds. Where do you gather most of the inspiration for your work?

AG: Thank you. That's a frequent response to my work, and one that I'm quite fond of. People are always saying, "ooh, that reminds me of a fish…or a duck…or an amoeba," or whatever. And I always say "go for it! It is whatever you want it to be (especially if you buy it!)." To me, the shapes are never that specific, other than my thinking of this gemstone as the "eye," or that curve as the "nose." To me, they're just "creatures."

I

Fortunately, my inspiration comes from inside me, which is another way of saying it comes from Nature, because I'm just a creature of Nature. My favorite quotation, sort of my motto, is from the painter Jean Arp: "We do not wish to copy nature. We do not want to reproduce, we want to produce. We want to produce as a plant produces a fruit..." I feel like I have thousands of designs in my head and I want as many of them as possible to come to fruition in my lifetime. That's why I prefer making one of a kind pieces.

me: Do you have a website where we can view your work?

AG: my website -www.goldinjewelry.com

and my Facebook page: www/facebook.com/goldinjewelry

I also once made a book about my work; a PDF version can be downloaded for free:www.lulu.com/shop/alan-goldin/goldinjewelry/ebook/product-17421155.html

Me: What was the first piece of jewelry you ever made? How have your designs evolved?

AG: In high school in the 60s, I made big flower-power pins for my mother and sister. I would cut a flower shape out of cardboard, dip it in Gesso, and paint and shellac it. My mother kept them all, and now they're in a box in my basement. But I don't do anything as literal as a flower anymore; my shapes all arise out of my subconscious.

me: Describe your designs in 3 words?

AG: biomorphic. minimal. humorous.

me: How do you go about creating a new piece? We'd love to know more about your process. Do you sketch the idea? How do you choose the materials, etc.

AG: For many years, I've "doodled" in a sketchbook. I have boxes full of them. Before getting into jewelry, the sketchbooks were filled with cartoon characters. Now they're much less anthropomorphic. My best doodles happen when my brain is distracted by something else: phone conversations, TV shows, driving down the highway (just kidding!). That way, the drawings are totally "left-brained," or come from my subconscious. I think of them as "stream-of-consciousness" drawings. I go back and "review" the drawings days later and certain ones will leap out at me, crying out to be made into a pendant or ring. I then scan them into my computer and use Photoshop to size them to an

J

appropriate size for the piece (sometimes enlarged, sometimes reduced). I print that, cut it out, and transfer the design to wax (using the laborious push-pin/baby-powder method).

me: Do you design from a studio or your home?

AG: I totally work out of my home; my studio is a little corner of our basement.

me:What's your favorite design you've ever created?

AG: The one I just finished! Always! I really do think of my drawings as living things; rather than representing an

By "successfully," I mean it ended up looking just as I imagined it, with no flaws.

me: Beyond your business, what are your hobbies or passions?

AG: I once had ambitions to become a rock star! I still occasionally write songs and record them (I have a YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/agoldingsgdesign), so if I'm not working on jewelry, I'm probably practicing my guitar (I started teaching myself to play right before I turned 50).

me: My guilty pleasure is?

AG: Watching anything on TV...because it's not work! And the only time it doesn't make me feel guilty is when I've spent the previous 8 hours in the basement studio!

absolute rendering of a "creature," the drawing is more like a snapshot of the creature at a specific moment in time. A moment later, and the same creature would look completely different. So, they're my children and I try not to play favorites. But there are certainly some that came out more successfully than others, and I'm a little fonder of those!

Personal StyleA Short Opinion Piece by Laura Bracken

Having a personal style is like being your own brand. Branding says, “This is who I am” in such a recognizable way there is no mistaking who you are. A consumer product’s branding is something that becomes identifiable the instant it is seen, like the Nike swoosh or the Geico gecko.

So what you want to do is discover your inner brand. Find the style of dressing that speaks to who you are in such a way that people equate you with your style or vice versa.

The catalyst for my personal style decision was a television show I saw many years ago, a make-over show I believe, where the host was giving advice as she dressed the client.

“Do not wear patterns,” she said. “No fabrics with stripes, dots, flowers, or anything. You will get your ‘pop’ from your accessories.”

I don’t know why but this is one of those things that stuck with me even now twenty years later. And I think that’s what a lot of personal style is about… listening to your intuition about what works for you.

I love patterns in fabric, but I began to realize that it’s the fabric I loved the most, not the clothing made out of the fabric. Furthermore, I can’t get away with the fabulous mixes and laying of

N

To date, I define my personal style as “comfortable neutrals with a heavy emphasis on bold accessorizing”.

Here’s a short list of some personal styles. See if any of these words resound with you: chic, modern, Bohemian, preppy, goth, hippie, casual, artsy, vintage, rocker, sophisticated, beatnik, hiphop, sporty, etc. Then explore those trends for possibilities.

Now go out there and discover your personal style. See what fits your lifestyle, what styles appeal to you, what people find recognizably you in the way you dress, etc. Once you connect with your inner stylist, you’ll feel more confident, you’ll get more positive attention, and you’ll bring individuality to the table.

If you need a jumpstart, here’s a fun online quiz to get you started thinking about what styles your personality may be more suited for: http://www.thechicfashionista.com/fashion-style-quiz.html#Quiz

And thanks for letting me share my personal style with you.

Bohemian or Kitsch styles, but a solid color base made a creative palette for my personal expression of minimalism with accents.

Once I streamlined my closet to mostly solids, I began to see how adding the right accessories could speak to the kind of style I want to portray. Suddenly my wardrobe began to take shape because I found more choice in defining my individual style by way of accessories rather than by way of clothing. A simple white tailored shirt could be worn in any number of outings for different reasons but the accessories I choose to go with it make my statement for that day, from tiny pearl earrings to a full blown Squash Blossom necklace. The range of options was huge and yet still spoke to how I wanted to represent myself and how I felt comfortable.

Taking Care of Your Jewelry~Article by Laura Bracken

tarnishing too quickly, it keeps beads and stones from getting chipped and scratched, it keeps jewelry from getting tangled, and it keeps glued in embellishments glued in. But ideal isn’t always practical. There are, however, a few things you can do at home to breathe new life into your jewelry if it’s been around the block a few times.

Metal naturally wants to tarnish. Some metals tarnish quickly; others tarnish slowly. Even the ones that don’t seem to tarnish at all (gold and fine silver, for example), still need to be taken care of and cleaned every once in a while. Often you don’t even know how dirty a piece was until you shine it up for comparison. Tarnish will eventually eat away at the actual metal, too.

To bring shine back to sterling silver, gold and copper, the Sunshine polishing cloth is an excellent choice. There are liquids you can dip your silver into, but I avoid these as they seem to leave a dull film on the metal afterward. I do have good luck with pastes and polishing compounds like Wenol.

I’m not going to list the myriad ways there are to use household products to clean your jewelry because you can find those easily by Googling “How to Clean Jewelry at Home”. Everything from toothpaste to Alka Seltzer, from beer to aluminum foil.

Most jewelry makers will agree that the majority of rings with stones (not

pearls) can be cleaned with a very soft bristled toothbrush and detergent-free

Jewelry isn’t created to be indestructible, but there are things you as a jewelry owner can do to keep your pieces looking better and lasting longer.

Ideally, when you’re not wearing a piece of jewelry, you’d store it in a small Ziploc bag. This keeps the metal from

Some metals are sold with a protective coating

(lacquer, wax, etc), and although the coating will

protect the metal for awhile, if the metal is against your skin a lot the coating will eventually

wear away. Think about how often you’ve seen the plating from plated

jewelry worn through.

Water and soap makes things much more slippery and it’s a dreadful feeling to watch a piece of jewelry disappear into the drain hole.

Gemstones beads and crystal beads get layers of oil on them which attract dust and dirt and totally dims the shine. For beaded jewelry with gems or crystals, you can wipe with a soft, dry cloth. This photo shows the “sparkle” difference in the crystal that had been worn for a few months and then after being lightly wiped with a cotton cloth. Sometimes detergent-free soapy water is needed (but not if the beads are threaded on silk string).

A few last tips…

● Beaded jewelry may need to be restrung periodically. Check for frayed cording and/or loosely strung beads. If the beads are moving around (meaning you can see more thread or cord between the beads than you used to), it means the string has stretched and will need to be replaced.

● Some gemstones and glass beads do not respond well to sudden temperature changes, so be aware of that.

● The color on some dyed stones will fade over time, particularly if exposed to the sun.

● If a piece of jewelry is hard to clean or you’re unsure how to go about it, find a reputable jeweler (or jewelry maker) and ask their advice.

● Taking care of your jewelry on a regular basis is better than having to have it repaired at a later date.

Here are some other things that will keep your jewelry looking great for years to come:

● Put your jewelry on last, after you’ve put on make-up, perfume, and hairspray (particularly anything with Turquoise, Amber, or Pearls)

● Remove your jewelry before bathing, showering, swimming (pools or ocean), and hot-tubbing

● Remove your jewelry before strenuous exercise

● Remove your jewelry before cleaning (some cleaning products have harsh chemicals)

● Don’t sleep in your jewelry (certain pieces are fine for sleeping in if they won’t tangle or bend)

● After removing jewelry, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to remove body oils and/or lotion
