CROWN INCHIES

More inchies created for another swap....the theme was crowns. I like combining a bit of zetti with seriousness, just as I enjoy rustic jewelry with a bit of bling, you know, that old chocolate and potato chip problem I have. I"m starting to view it as not a problem anymore though...but a blessing! The problem is that my appetite for opposites is insatiable! I am realizing that it applies to all aspects of my life...food, jewelry, art, husband(we are totally opposite!) Am I alone?

WINDING DOWN

available on etsy

A little bracelet I made up recently. I feel like Autumn is winding down, although it isn't , but most of the beautiful colors are gone here.......and we are left with a lot of brown and bits of gold, and some blackness from frost hitting some very delicate things. That was the mindset behind the bracelet, and although it SOUNDS a bit depressing, and I start to feel a bit depressed in the fall, when I look at black and brown, and bits of cream and gold, I feel so warm.
I won this beautiful ATC from Terri at Pringle Hill Studio recently!! It is soooo beautiful, so richly colored and detailed, it is incredible, as well as the card it came in! Terri has been a source of constant support and friendship to me , concerning both my jewelry and art! I have met some amazing friends through this blog, and what excites me the most are the people who can relate to ALL types of art, whether they do them or not, not just their own particular niche. We can learn sooo much through the eyes and the inspiration of someone else, if we let it happen. Thank you Terri, as always, for your wonderful inspiration,encouragement and creations!! Thanks to all that visit me also....I am here because of you.
It's now 12:07 am......Happy Halloween!! Have a wicked one!!

INCHIES

I always feel like I have to do or try something new, so this was this weeks "new" thing.
They are called inches, and they are exactly that ...1" in diameter, and you have to create a tiny piece of art. Of course I thought it would be fairly easy, and was I waaaaaay wrong!! I just about had a nervous breakdown, and it took three days to accomplish this! But, I did it, and it did start to grow on me, ...kinda. It does feel good though when you are finally happy, after that struggle. And am I the only one who likes a challenge? I think the aggravation sometimes actually makes me feel ALIVE, adrenaline pumping, and the imagination is in overdrive!

PINK PASSION

I guess I'm on the pink wagon, and the back to basics train...but this is where my head has been, so I just go with it. I love pink and brown, it's so warm to me. I adore the wood heishi with the bling of the swarovski, it's my salt and chocolate combination that I always go back to. And silver is a forever love of mine. Funny how a person can be so passionate about a THING.
What THING are you passionate about? Not an idea, a THING. For me, it's silver, and beads, and coffee, and dark chocolate, and......I'll spare you the rest! Have a passionate Tuesday!

PINK DREAM

This is a whimsy bird I created for a recent swap. It felt good to do something whimsical, and light feeling., and I really had fun with the doodling again since I hadn't done much of that in a while! I'm hoping that this piece will start off the week with a new outlook and a fresh dream.... for everyone! So ladies, let's put on our crowns and soar!!

OLDIES BUT GOODIES

3mm turquoise stones accented with 1mm Hill Tribe faceted sterling silver

16 gauge sterling silver hand forged spiral links

available on etsy

These are two bracelets that I made quite a while ago, but never posted them. There is no particular reason I didn't , I guess I only tend to show more of the ART jewelry style, rather than the basic, what I would call cool classic jewelry, that I would like to wear everyday. So I just listed them on etsy, and I think I will show many more surprises like this in the next few weeks.
