New Things....

My sweetlove and I have been spending a lot of energy and time over the last few months exploring and dreaming up ways for us both to be working, living and earning from our creativity more. Tylers passing in November has definately given Dionne extra energy and determination to build and manifest the life that she wants. And I have spent a lot of the last 12 years on the road one way or the other and am tired of being away from the one I love....so all those things, and more, have given us both great incentive to try to make it work for us to be on the road together..supporting and developing one anothers creativity, dreams and life.

We realised last week that we were both swirling around in a pool of TOO MANY IDEAS and were both quite overwhelmed by it all. Overwhelmed in a 'lets just sit here a little longer coz we are too tired to do anything else' kinda way. We both worked that out at exactly the same time and knew that the only way around it was to take ONE THING and give it a go. See what it could actually look like and if it would work.

Long story short...we are developing the first stage of our new business venture which looks something like MuseKraft. We both own, and love, hand stamped one of a kind pieces of jewelery and both enjoy doing that kind of work together. SO...we have launched the first run of our own hand stamped, hand buffed/dappled/polished/brushed/dreamed up designs....on sterling silver and copper. We have taken bits of metal and created them into these one of a kind pieces of work using words that we both love and adore and want to send out into the world more.

Our first run of pieces is up here: http://www.martinelocke.com/jewelery/index.html and we have special prices on all of them until Feb 16th as incentive to folks to buy now. They are, and will be, super affordable and come to you with much sweat, love and energy.

Our plan is to have them available at shows now and eventually at festivals and events where we go. Probably to some people, all these changes and 'dreams' are crazy to pursue in such an unknown economic time...but fuck em, I say. One life is all we have. Just one.

Hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed making and dreaming them up!
