TALL TALES

 Hooray for the holiday weekend and some much needed time off! Headaches abound again, and I can use some R & R.  I did manage to get this necklace listed the other day, and I was happy with the combination of eclectic elements and what they mean to me. 

TALL TALES can be purchased through etsy here.

 Trying to enjoy the last bits of summer in my garden.

 Squeezed in a journal page too.

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend!

NEW WORK

 I was finally able to finish some work this weekend, and get it listed in the shop.  The necklace above I called MUM of course, and it has sold already, and I am so thankful for that. I have the best customers!

  The earrings below I call FOLKLORE, and if you know me I adore quirky, twisted, and rustic, and these pearls are just that. The iridescence is gorgeous.  I hope to get some more things listed soon, and start visiting more blogs. 

Happy week to all, and thanks for your visits and comments!



FOLKLORE-available on etsy here

QUIET

 A new journal page, a quiet one this week.

It's been a looooong week. It started over a week ago with a headache, that turned migraine, and today I finally feel like a human again. Let's hope it lasts.  For this, I am grateful.  I am also grateful for having an article in the fall issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry, and Somerset Apprentice! I am actually in disbelief. I have not received the Somerset Apprentice mag yet, but many of my friends have shared it on FB with me.  I am ever so grateful for this nurturing and creative community of artists that are my friends.

Thank you to all the new followers I see, and all that visit....I appreciate you all so much.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend !

It just seems that lately I cannot find time to come up for air.  I have been working like crazy getting ready to send some jewelry off to a new store, and finally got that done, which in turn called for a mini celebration of making time to create a new journal page! I am not much for pink, but it happened and I like it!  

I made these earrings using Lori Lochner's fab glass beads, and they sold instantly! I have found that I reeeeeally love adding my etchings to just about everything! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Despite the fact that I have been working very hard for an upcoming jewelry event, I have squeezed in some time to start my fabric covered journal , a class by Mary Ann Moss called Remains of the Day. I absolutely looooove sewing, and this class. I did manage to complete the cover, but now have to fill the inside with various papers and sewing . I will keep you all tuned into that as it happens. 

Some yummy details of the cover, various vintage laces , dyed fabrics from other artists from my hoarded stash, and a wonderful handmade strip of fabric with this quote from Robin Ridener, another fabulous textile artist and friend.

 And last but not least is a photo of the current chaos at my workbench, I can honestly say I haven't any plans to get this cleaned up anytime soon. I think I know where everything is.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends, and thanks so much for stopping by. I always love and appreciate your comments!

BUSY BUSY

 DUSK is available in my shop here.

DUSK was made with my etched copper and some vintage rosary, and romance in my soul.

I have been super busy, and little by little I might get everything accomplished that I need to, but there is always time for journaling and scribbling.....right?

My page below was made pretty haphazardly, but that's what makes it fun! I really can't explain it any better than that!

Hope everyone is busy busy being happy!

FRENZY

My shabby journal cover made for an online class by Mary Ann Moss....Remains of the Day.....I can't wait to watch more videos and fill this up!

 Fooling around here a bit with free motion embroidery....loving this, and WILL be doing more for sure!

 Visionary earrings made with my etched pieces and some favorite turquoise...SOLD!

AT HOME bracelet available here. 

I have had a few blissful days off of work, and have been on a creating frenzy, and loving it! Hope you are all creating as well, and are happy! 

Thanks for looking friends, and being a source of my happiness as well!
