back on the horse and some new stuff...

I'm back in the saddle again!!!  Whoooo!!!

Ok, so I've actually been back in the saddle (my workbench) for several weeks now, just haven't been able to get in the swing of things and complete a single project.  Have had multiple pieces partway fabricated, but have been lacking the 'balls' so to speak, to finish them.  When I've been away from my bench for a while, or I'm in a new location with a new setup, it sets my working hands in a tailspin, and I lose control of what is automatic.  I finally determined that what I needed was a few simple projects to get my hands (and my insane brain) re-focused and used to the work again.  For some reason, my hands are still shaking terribly....but I don't think it necessarily effected the work this time ;o)

Torched glass cab, simply stunning, I've titled this one, "Galaxy", for what I feel are obvious reasons.

Bramble Earrings out of copper and Pyrite, for what I feel are also obvious reasons.

Tourmaliated Quartz....easily stunned by the beauty and simple complexity of this stone.

Size 7.

Amethyst Sage set very simply.

All can now be found in the Etsy Shop

Now, I think I have determined that two glasses of red wine considerably help in the hand shaking department....so off to test my theory ;o)

Sadness is a Blessing...

I'm finally done moving from Texas to Florida...setting settled into my studio and geared up ready to start creating again!

Oh dear bench, how I have missed you this past month.

I should be back up and running either this week or next, so keep an eye on the shop for new pieces!

I am literally bursting with ideas and inspiration...living on the beach is a blessing and a miracle for me, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

Standing in the waves of the emerald waters here, I feel giant and tiny all at the same time.  Seeing driftwood float in with the tide I wonder what other country this began it's journey from, what other human being has touched this very piece, years ago?  

I'm exhilarated and filled with a sad longing...something beautiful, I just can't describe.  

I am a happy person, but my personality type is always geared from the more pessismestic outlook on life, my music choices reflect my inner love of sadness and heartbreak.

My dearest musician lady that forever will touch my heart, has hit the nail on the head with this incredible piece.  She truely is a remarkable artist, I can personally attest to her pure and raw talent from when I witnessed her live a few years ago.

Lykke Li, Sadness is a Blessing
