My Eyes Are Open

For the first time since I started selling my work on EBAY I have put the "Selling" and "Auction" part on hold for a while. I am still creating,but with a new mission and a new goal. I was so inspired after receiving all the treasures in the Giveaway I won from Riki at http://rikijewelry.blogspot.com/ that it gently pushed me in the directions of my dreams..and I finally made the decision,to open my eyes and to at last submit some of my mixed media jewelry pieces to a magazine for possible publications.With this shift of focus,creative time has been full of ideas for possible submissions.I must admit that it feels weird to create something and not list it for sale right away,..It almost feels as though I am keeping a secret of sorts, an exciting,thrilling,cant wait to blab all about it,secret.

Today,I can share some of the ideas that have passed my table and that I later decided not to submit them...I am having a blast with Resin and all I can say is I want to put resin on everything right now..Ooooh what fun!! I just know something wonderful will hatch from all this resin play that I can submit to a magazine..

"Shadow of His Wings"



 "My Hearts Affection"



Resin Butterfly Transparency



 "History" Resin Lace,Gauze and Rusties



'All men dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds,
wake in the day to find that it was vanity;
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act on their dreams with open eyes,
to make them possible.'

(T. E. Lawrence, 1888-1935)


As always,
thank you so much for stopping by

oh Cat!!
those resined pieces are LOVELY!!! you've made me so miss my resin! isn't it liberating just to let your senses fly? which magazine did you want to submit to? i've also been toying with the idea of submitting some of my work to a mag ... anyhow ... what ever it is, you must keep creating ... your imagination is boundless and your work is beautiful!

Love these! I can see why you are so inspired by resin! My dining table top is thick resin. I think it was an art project. Someone painted it in multiple colors so that it looks copperish and then put about a 1/4 inch or more to seal it...maybe it is polymer or whatever it is but it looks really cool. I found the table at the Goodwill several years ago. So I know it must be fun to work with. The pendants are beautiful!

Hi Cat! Wow! Those new pieces are so wonderful. I know what you mean about taking a new direction (and saving pieces for submissions). I'm thinking along those lines, too, and trying to figure out how I want to spend my time creatively. I love ALL of your work! :) Pam
