My inspirations ...

I imagined at first, then realized jewels thanks to the technique of the wood-turning.
The nature offering a big diversity I used more than sixty different essences, each with the color, the veining.
Necklaces, brooches, earrings being sometimes with small bronze or silver coin, obtained by the cast iron with lost wax..
For the patterns, the symbolism, I was inspired by pieces bring from journeys outcomes of the cultures Maya, Aztec, Inuit...

Then came boxes, caskets and display stands of jewels in turned-wood (excavation, texturage), hook, and sometimes earth during a work with a ceramist friend.

For 5 years I sculpture magic wands of wizards, partially inspired by the Harry Potter's fantastic universe. They are made in various materials: wood of course, but also horn, fangs, tooth, spun glass, metal, plucks... Each possesses a soul made of natural animal-derived or mineral elements.
