Arriving in Calgary at noon on Tuesday, I borrowed a bike and rode all over this flat city, which was a welcome change to having sat in an airplane for many hours earlier in the day!
I had a lovely visit with Amanda at Influx Gallery (very nice collection of contemporary Canadian jewellers!), but unfortunately got lost on my way to Rubaiyat, so that I didn’t get there until minutes before they closed.
Wednesday morning, I took the drive to Banff, and then through the gorgeous Banff National Park to Jasper. My goodness, I must say: if I lived here, I’d be making Jewellery about those mountains! They are very different from the Bavarian Alps where I grew up. The lines here are amazing, so bare in a way, which makes the eye able to observe so much! I hope you’ll indulge me: I couldn’t help but take quite a few pictures … But don’t miss the magical story at the end of this post!

What an excellent story, Dorothee, and well told, between the photos and text. It’s great to see your work is going to be showcased in Jasper. Congratulations!
Thanks, Andrew!
Yes, I am really excited to show the work in Jasper. Today, I was in Edmonton to look at galleries there. Just at the airport, ready to board my plane to Vancouver, where the four-day outdoor craft show starts tomorrow. Never a dull moment :)
Wow, crazy! Your pictures are beautiful and so is your jewellery of course. I love my one-footer too! xoxo
People tell me they make it their Sunday morning ritual to read my letters. It's a personal look into the life of an artist, with intimate stories, care tips, and of course some exclusive jewellery previews as well.
