Bless this mess. She’s work in progress!
This week flew by and my studio work didn’t amount to much once I listed new jewelry pieces for sale in my shop and then tended to the subsequent label printing, packaging and shipping. I spent a day in the office trying to respond to all my emails, tending to invoicing for photography projects, and taking calls with my editor and a handful of other people for a handful of other projects. Then I felt so inspired about a few things I’m working on that I couldn’t fall asleep at night, a few nights in a row! Does that ever happen to you? I felt like someone was striking flint inside my mind and sparks for ideas for a writing project I am embarking on were catching flame in my imagination. I’m experiencing something so thrilling right now:
THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA, THE BREATH OF INSPIRATION FILLING MY SOUL
It’s an important time. I must pay attention.
This beautiful dendritic opal cuff was born on Thursday. I had a hankering to make a big, wide cuff with presence, texture and a kind of unwaveringness to the design…with a cleanly presented stone set boldly on the face. I selected this dendritic opal that I have had in my stone collection for the better part of 13 years! This is such a great feeling, visually striking bracelet. I’m looking forward to making a few more.
I hope you are all wonderful, healthy, finding joy every day.
Magnificent cuff!! Certainly a bold presence to it….. [Congratulations on giving birth.]
I’m glad I’m not the only one who holds on to stones until they speak to me! Dave is always saying, “when are you going to use all those stones?” “When they tell me what they want to be!” Little does he know my collection has actually dwindled over the years and I have to gradually re-stock, because again, the stones I buy have to speak to me.
That cuff is gorgeous–did you solder each band together to make the wide cuff?
Also, love seeing you in your space!
Love love love this! My artistic inspirations keep me up at night at times, as well. What an exhilarating experience!
The most beautiful way to create 🌞 I love building a relationship with something and letting it unveil the most beautiful ideas. Everything you make takes my breath away. Theres a lot of messages coming through right now, so important to listen 💚✨
Now I’m excited about your writing project! LOVE your writing. Thank you.
Did you know that your mess is so aesthetically pleasing with a fantastic color combo?!?!? Well… If you didn’t know, now you know, and now I’m inspired by it… BRB gonna go drool over that cuff now…
Now, I’m excited! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your writing! Looking forward to your project.
