Catherinette Rings Steampunk's photostream  

In April of 2008 i started to make rings just for fun after Catherine (My better half) learned how to make simple wire rings during a 2 hour lesson. I just watched how she made it and tried. Since then I spent several hours every day perfecting and developing my own technique to create an original design. I quickly started to make very retro-futurist model of rings. So i decided to embark into this adventure , quit my job and try to live on my jewelry full-time .

Someday a friend told me what i was doing was Steampunk . I research the subject and fell in love with this culture . I always liked Steampunk but i didn't know there was a name for it . Recently i had the chance to have my steampunk jewelry featured in the fashion Magazine Clindoeil and an article about my art in the newspaper Le Voir .

A few years ago i had the chance to travel to over 18 countries . During my travel I developed an interest for photography .Today I'm happy that photography is now part of my daily routine and for that purpose i recently acquired a new Canon Rebel Xsi with a 100mm macro lenses.

Now i enjoy sharing my most artistic pictures of the jewelry i make , i find flickr a great tool to learn about photography and also a useful extension giving direction to my artistic/creative development . I appreciate your comments .

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me .

Sincerely
Daniel
