JUST GLUE

For the first time in months I was moved to create a journal spread. No foo foo involved, paints, inks, and various other sticky stuff, just glue and paper and the need to follow my emotion quickly. I am struggling this year like never before with heavy thoughts and I am feeling restless. I feel a need to tell my story but not so literally so as everyone has to listen. This quick (ish) gluing is helping me tell my story rather quietly, but effectively enough to help me feel a bit better. I liked the way this turned out, and am still restraining to pull out a marker or something!
On another note, I am 9 followers away from 500, and when I reach that number I will have a generous giveaway! Everyone has been so generous to me.
Thanks for taking a peek, and happy rest of the week! Hugs to all!

A Walk In The Woods

Taking in all the nature around me, enjoying it, and using that in my creativity. I made a copper and mixed bead double wrap bracelet and a pair of earrings that both remind me of the forest.
Both are listed in my esty shop here. Thanks for visiting and all your support and comments.

VISIONARY

PLUSH-available on etsy here

I had the most fun making these Visionary earrings.....pounding metal is always my fallback for stress release and serendipity! You are sure to see more of these to come.

The Plush earrings were listed in my shop for a short while, and then I loaned them out to a shop that didn't do anything with them...(long boring story), so now I am reintroducing them again.

Thanks for your visits and kind comments.

AUTUMN

FLOW-available on etsy here

I have really been influenced this past week by the drop in temperature, the gray skies, and the changing foilage. I am always drawn to gemstones that are beautifully colored and veined....they remind me of the graceful aging process and the natural journey we are all on.....very unique and beautiful. I didn't patina the silver this time, I think I am liking that bit of shine mixed into my day.

Thanks for taking a peak and your wonderful comments.

A GORGEOUS GIVEAWAY!

I just had to pass on the word that Riki Schumacher has a new blog called E-Workshops and is starting it off with a blast by having an incredible giveaway! Go check it out here , and be prepared to be beautifully inspired! I know I am! Thank you Riki!!!

TRUTHFUL

TRUTHFUL is available on etsy here

So I finally finished this necklace the other day, but I have so much life stuff going on right now it was even hard to get it listed in my etsy shop. It did take me a long time to make, what seemed liked forever in fact....painfully slow....uh...you get the idea. Seems like I have been moving in slow motion, but I have been translating that into at least I'm moving, and that works for me.
This was a labor of love, and one I thoroughly enjoyed, and am hoping to do more......after I rest again.

Thanks for taking a look and all your support. It truly means the world.

BEAD SHOW

I went to the bead show with my daughter today, and had a great time, as you can tell by the photos. Not only is it great to buy and see new beads, but the best part is the comradery and inspiration I walk away with at these shows, inspired by others and eager to try new things. Now all I need is energy, so I am off to bed to rest up for that part.
