Guns are not usually Beautiful...To me, but...

Listed tonight on Etsy's Handpicked Items was a necklace that I love. It is to 'die' for...


It is made by execly and is called Broken Hearted Margot, a story necklace (luxe version). I love the wit and the composition. Lucky is she who buys this beauty...

Ice Shadows

As the temperature outside got warmer the trees began to shed their ice skins, creating this beautiful shadow effect...

Calling Life...Are you still there?

About a year ago I completely dropped my life. Everything.
I called no one, went nowhere, did nothing. My university books went into storage, my studio became a storage room, shampoo lasted for months...I did manage to read about 40 novels (escapism) and crawl out of bed this year with an extra 20lbs on my body...

A funny thing happens when you forget about life, it forgets about you too.

Now I am digging like an archaeologist into the dirt of the mess I've created. Like this 20lbs, it was 'easier' to get into than it is to get out of! My studio got a thorough assessment Friday and I began the act of cleansing. I will be able to create again soon!

Before...
The "after's" will be coming soon.

Snail Mail


Beautiful old postcards... A long time coming, one is postmarked 1901. I found these yesterday at a tiny flea market at the local Legion. I love them.

Beauty and Old





An old Saks Fifth Avenue dress... And in my favourite photo weather too. Lovely snow!

Fragile Ego

I feel a little egotistical writing this... Really, who wants to know, or read about, me? But the blogs that I read do add to my life and inspiration...

I am going to share the beauty I find and the trials of being an artist with an OH so fragile ego... Other than a few pieces here and there I am completely unknown, I am weary to change that but feel I must. My future, my happiness and my house may depend on getting over myself and just putting the stuff 'out there'.

I'd like to mention that the blogs that I have listed have been an inspiration to me and I feel strength from their success as artists, and as (seemingly) people.

Beautiful things are happening...
