Letting the Cool Air In

Letting the Cool Air In

The sweetness in the air today is oh so lovely.I am full of Gratitude,for these past days the weather has remained glorious and refreshing and its comforting arms have stretched far and wide embracing every corner of my home.

The doors remain wide and the soothing sights and sounds are truly remarkable.

And we took advantage of the wind and played alongside it..

..and as always, the wind inspires in so many ways..helping me to focus on some ideas swirling in my head..Some new yummies for the shop..filled with my favorite line from my favorite quote,"The Journey" by Mary Oliver

Plus a new ring- a - ma-gig..using a glass marble,microbeads,paper
and a ring base by the amazing Susan Lenart Kazmer..

and another pendant using a great quote by Thomas Edison.

Yes,I get it..I used the Q instead of a O in some places...at first I made the mistake and thought I should start over...but later decided NAHHHHHHH...Kinda Like it!!

As always,
thank you so much for stopping by

Beautiful work. Why do we all love Mary Oliver so....she must be a muse to all artists everywhere. It's great to see the kids just being kids and smiling away. xox Corrine

Hi Cat, thank you so much for stopping by! Wish you could have been in the class, it was so much fun. I love these sweet cloth and metal pendants. Your work just continues to touch me so deeply. Not only the words you choose, but the texture, materials, and colors. You are such a talent. Big hug, Riki

Ahhh Cat - you are so cool!! I must be picking up on this concept of fabric and paper and metal in jewellery by osmosis because that's exactly what I'm experimenting with at home at the mo. In fact, I'm just about to post about it...if only blogs like yours wouldn't stop getting in the way of my concentration and pulling me off course with all there delectables! ha ha. Oh and I love your "doo-dads" etsy store. I've been thinking seriously of stocking mine with supplies too as there are a few things we get here in NZ that are really reasonably priced that you un the States can't get a hold of eaily...like round wooden pegs for example. And doileys on the cheap! We have tons of it for real cheap here. So thanks for the inspiration and I may now have to go and shop at your place!!

Hi Cat! Thanks so much for stopping by and giving me some feedback on these bling things. They are really fun, don't know how many I'll do, but we'll see. I think you're right, takes the right woman and a good pair of jeans! Big hug, Riki
