Handcrafted, earthy, organic, on the edge jewellery and just a little crazy…Pazzesco!
Janet Ross has always been interested in arts and crafts. At 12, she took lessons to make Pysanky, or Ukrainian Easter eggs, which are done in the same manner as Batik. She made many eggs in her teens but school and work soon took a precedence, so when things settled down a bit,she returned to it in her 40’s at which time she took it on with a vengeance (which seems to have started a pattern with her obsessive approach to any art form!) Also in her 40’s, she took water colour and acrylic lessons, but it wasn’t until she attended Gemstorm in 2004 and heard about the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club, that she found what she really loved to do. In 2005, she attended beginner silver smithing and fell in love with the whole idea of making jewellery. Also at that time, she took a course in wax casting, and felt very comfortable with this technique as she had graduated as a dentist from UWO in 1985 and was already familiar with waxing up crowns. The instructor for this course left the next year, and Janet took over teaching the course. Another course that was offered was in Art Clay Silver. This wonderful material is pure silver dust in an organic, non-toxic binder. It comes in a putty and paste, and has a multitude of applications. These courses are highly interactive and offer complete flexibility to learners, as they are divided into small sections, videos and interesting texts. wholesale viagra online Four major definitions of PE are currently used and the most widely accepted classification of PE includes “lifelong” (primary) order cialis pills and “acquired” (secondary) forms (syndromes).

Lots of psychotherapists, life coaches and other speviagra best buy ts offer psychological support to those who are suffering from sexual or mental debilities, can’t ejaculate semen volume as required. Once it is moulded and fired either with a torch or in a kiln, the end product is .995 silver. This material fascinated Janet and she has made many pieces utilizing this product,and she now is the instructor for this course as well. And yet another course which was offered was broom casting whereby molten silver is poured from a crucible into stacked up broom bristles, resulting in random acts of madness, which can then be incorporated into a jewellery design. Many of Janet’s pieces include broom casting. She calls her jewellery “Pazzesco” (which means “crazy” in Italian). She has no Italian roots, but loved the word and felt it described her unbridled approach to jewellery design. Most of her pieces involve rocks, not gemstones and she embraces the use of a hand fabricated focal point surrounded by beautiful natural elements. Never having been athletic (she claims she has no large motor skills, however she does golf…poorly), her small motor skills have provided her with a wonderful career in dentistry for over 29 years and the ability to make crazy, wonderful jewellery for herself and others to enjoy.
