@@JoBlankenburg always

The keys are powerful too Debbie huh?! :-) You are so observant. That's a steel brush I use for my guiro usually but in this case I press down the keys on the piano and brush the corresponding strings so they can ring out. I did this to add texture to the piece. The brushed strings also cut through the mix which I like a lot. Big hug back at yer!

@@JoBlankenburg Your description of what you were trying to achieve, adding texture to the piece, by using something normally used for percussion on strings, is exactly what I try and do with my art! And my eye caught what you were doing with the strings because I use components, usually hidden from sight, to create my jewelry! They come from many different sources, metal washers, springs, the brass fittings from lighters, electronics like capacitors and resisters, bullet shells and watch parts to create jewelry that absolutely does not look like what it was made from! It's that adding texture to something, the elevation of energy, this uplifts my spirit! To see something you wouldn't ordinarily think of using to create something different, that only the individual can see, or hear, that takes a special eye and the mind to, "cut through the mix" to bring it to life! Thank you so much for sharing that perspective Jo, it's much appreciated! Hear you next Thursday! ; )
