So every day

I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth


of the ideas of God,

one of which was you.
[Mary Oliver]

[sterling & 23 karat gold]

I finally finished this little fellow today!
He’s been on my studio bench for weeks now.
This is really, really,  just a dear little ring.
The ring band and bird were sculpted and cast separately — the ring band looks almost like a twig, it’s so magnificently irregular and textural. The bird is a fairly sweet and simple form, without being abstracted.  Quite nice.

He’ll fly his way into the Etsy shop later this evening!

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day.
It’s time for a lime popsicle break here
and then a long, long run with Farley up on the mountain
before I relax for the evening…I’m thinking
caprese salad, lemonade and a good book out on the front porch.
How about you?

  2. Such a darling little bird~ He looks like he's a little fluff of fun, there~ Does he sing? =P

    My evening will no doubt consist of lazing about on the computer while I recover from a driving lesson~ It wasn't hard, but I'm always tired afterwards.

  3. sooo cute.
