Have been keeping busy, staying cool, and creating, "One Of A Kind" jewelry.
These two pieces are simple, but beautiful, in my eyes. They can be purchased
here. I prefer simply stated elegance, and I think these qualify. The aubergine
pendant has a 36 inch chain.
I am still working on the Downton bracelets, but have run into a few bumps along the way.
Wow! This was fun. Might look a bit heavy for summer, but will be gorgeous on a long sleeve sweater.
Putting the various beads together is great fun. I need a magnifier for those tiny little screws! Stay tuned, more to come.
We had a special night while at the lake. You must wear a hat in order to get dinner.
It was such fun being with family. We all were good sports; of course we wanted to eat.
Celebrated sister-in-laws birthday. The Texas weather was sooo nice for our midwest guests.
We had rains and a pleasant breeze to keep us cool.
Got so frustrated with this blogger site that I just went away for awhile.
We will see what happens here.
I have been taking Riki's on-line class at Artful Gathering. We are
making a Downton Heirloom bracelet. I am learning so many techniques;
it is wonderful. My first attempt is just for me with all its flaws. I love it!
Totally got me back into making jewelry; I have ideas running around in my head.
I'm amazed at the beautiful work done by the artists at Smither Park
Each panel is a work unto itself, and yet it all goes together!
Here is another beautiful section of the memory wall at Smither Park in Houston.The hair on this "hare" appears to be tines from many forks.The creativity is amazing, and so interesting to see.
I have been trying to paint a feeling, a desire, a dream of mine. I have a wonderful husband, a great loving family, a beautiful little home, with a porch swing, so when confronted with the question:
"What is your dream?", I had to say, I am very blessed, however, I would love to see world peace; that is my dream! I believe the only way we will have world peace, is with unconditional love for EVERYONE. I ran across a quote by Jim Hendrix "When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, we will have world peace." That said it all for me.....trying to paint that message was a little harder to do. This is my attempt to show Love overcoming power. The "white love" is shining with interference gold. The "dark power" is a mix of Turquoise (Phthalo), Macaceous Iron Oxide, and a tiny bit of black. Every time I look at this painting, I am reminded to be a little kinder to everyone I meet. I will do my part, how about you?
