From Donna Burdic:
I view each of my pieces as reflections of love, to tickle the imagination and inspire.  Playful whimsical themes, to bold and flashy flickers of color and light.  Starting with a flat sheet of sterling silver, I draw the ideas on top of it, then saw, file and hammer the piece to its new dimension; gold and semiprecious stones may join the process, no molds or rolling mills, just me, an old anvil and perhaps a revamped railroad tie for stamping, then power tools for grinding texture to the mix.
And of course there is the beading, something I picked up in the southwest.  A friend named Barbara Malanga gave me the knowledge of peyote stitch and flat work that she was taught by Leo Cortez, a wonderful man from the Santo Domingo Pueblo who first healed Barbara and then taught her to bead so she could make a living while mending.
The person who has influenced me the most is metal smith Sydney Lynch, who has taught me everything, from making the jewelry to selling and marketing, and also giving me the confidence in myself to go out there and do it.   All in all, it's the process of creating; the end result is just another benefit for joy in action.  I hope that each recipient of these pieces enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
