A bit of how I ended up making shiny pretty things.
In 2010 I was a jewelry student and inspired by all the questions and requests about my jewelry by friends and even strangers, I decided to open my Etsy shop.
The name, The Angry Weather, came to mind as I started designing a lot of weather related jewelry: I was so in love, impressed and inspired, as an immigrant from Mexico, by snow storms and the dramatic changes of the seasons here in Canada.
Most of my jewelry is about nature and memories. I create little things that remind me of moments, places, people and feelings. I tend to recreate the objects that bring back those experiences. Some of my pieces are also inspired by more abstract ideas: shapes that stuck in my mind or are inspired by everyday objects.
I create my jewelry at my home studio in the south shore of Montreal, Canada, a little space that I love to organize and fill with inspiring things. Most of my process is made at my jewelers bench: the sawing, filing, bending, twisting, annealing, constructing, soldering, dapping, sanding, polishing, etc. Work like designing, assembling, packing, answering emails and other administrative work I made also in my studio, in another desk where I have tons of things that inspire me like, photos, prints, minerals and found objects. I sometimes use molds as a reproduction method for certain pieces, this is made using the service of a local cast business.
In 2011 I was honored to be chosen as an Etsy featured seller and have my work exposed to a larger audience. Back then I was new in this business and for me was awesome and very exciting to be have my work recognized this way.
I love making my jewelry and it's so amazing to think that there's people in other places of the word wearing my designs!
