Blues Traveler
I traveled quite a bit growing up. By the time I was 12, I’d seen the majority of the USA. Summer was always a time of car trips, and amazing sights. One summer, though- I went on an ocean voyage.
Wrinkles of Time
It amazes me how interconnected art is with life. How one seemingly insignificant event will leap forth and demand a specific creation process in one’s art. For me, one such event is reading- and I love to read.
Sailing
Today’s piece of the day was inspired by sailing the ocean on a vacation adventure. After a long day of battling waves, wind, and -perhaps- pirates, the sun sinks slowly into the west as a golden gleam against the sails….
Issaquah
Today’s piece of the day is titled “Issaquah” and is inspired by the art of the Northwest region near my old home town.
Circles Abound
Life is so cyclical sometimes. I made a bracelet in November of last year. I hadn’t even had a chance to take a picture before I sold it at my Fall jewelry party.
Every Day….. Maybe
I have committed to creating a piece of jewelry every day for 30 days. I think I may be a little crazy.
Burning the Midnight Oil
Sometimes life doesn’t always go as planned. The dishwasher breaks, the road caves in, or you just mysteriously forget about how close a deadline really is… The result of all that is usually a mad dash at the last instant. A quickly emptying reservoir of midnight oil.
Diamond Of the First Water
A gentleman approached me on his wife’s behalf, and asked if I could help him with a Christmas present. I’ve had the most lovely time exploring diamonds, diamond houses, the ethics of diamonds… it’s been a wonderful experience. So I’ve set about trying to answer all of his questions plus a few more besides.
Star Fall
I recently had to wait with my children, and they asked me to make up a story. About what? I asked. After stories for the light switch, the potted plant, and my shoe they said, : About your necklace, Mommy. This is what I told them.
Rest in the Seventh Hour
I crossed off several line items on my list today, not the least of which were a whole bunch of new bracelets!
