MARBLES

I don’t know how many years it’s been since my sister left me her marble collection. I just know that every day I see a pair of glass jars, overflowing with colored spheres, on the shelf at home. My sister has always liked them, and the truth is that they are an original gift, especially

PETR´S CYLINDERS (part 3)

LAST DAYS Day 6 (Sunday): Yesterday I spent the whole day looking at the different combinations offered by the cylinders. I was cutting them and playing with them. Forming different structures. Everything was ideas and possibilities, so today it’s up to me to decide. I combine this cylinder with this one, this other one can

VISIT TO THE GEOMINERO MUSEUM OF MADRID

People who know me know that one of my characteristics is how stubborn I am. This sometimes comes in handy. You stick to your convictions, but others, especially when you don’t have a reason, keep you from doing interesting things. The good thing is that, as the saying goes: “It’s never too late if bliss

PETR´S CYLINDERS (Part 2)

LAST WEEK Day 4 (Friday): I just had an incredible downturn. I can’t take it anymore. I realize that my body can continue to work, but my head refuses, I am tired of this dynamic. I get bored, it can’t be more tedious. Every day is the same, as I have divided the work in

HOW TO CLEAN OUR STERLING SILVER JEWELS

One of the worst things about working with silver is the issue of cleaning. It’s amazing how quickly it stains and: It gets UGLY! If we do not have the piece in use, or we have left it on the bedside table or in the bathroom, it is more than certain that when we want

SEPTEMBER ARRIVED

Today is August 30th and this only means one thing, we have to say: GOODBYE SUMMER! I know that, officially, until September 21, we did not change the season, but I think, that I am not the only one, that it goes back to school on September 1. What does all this mean? August is

SUMMER VACATIONS

“Summer vacations”, more than the title of a post, seems to be the title of a song, but there is no better way than with these three words to describe those few days (at least few for me) in which we take the suitcase and escape to a place X. I can’t avoid imagining myself

WALK IN THE FOREST

I have to admit that I like to walk, I’ve always liked to walk, come on, I like it a lot and if I try to remember myself as a child, I’m perfectly capable of seeing myself walking. Today I choose to walk to take the bus or the subway. And it’s not that I

WHEN YOU DISCOVER A NEW SITE

It took me a long time to find it, but I finally got it. I needed to find a special place for me in the city. A place where I could go alone and relax, be with my thoughts, be able to draw a little, or just be watching people pass by, nothing more. The

THE FIRST DAY

Today is the first day and the first sentence of this new project. A blog about my work as a jeweler, under my signature LaBé. The truth is that I had a blog before, but its form, its content; let’s go what I meant by it was totally different. In that first blog, which lasted
