Dreaming pendant


Please open the earlier blogs to get updates on my show weekends. Happy Summer :))

And the circles they go round and round...

.... we can't return we can only look behind from where we came ( Joni Michel)

Yes , and another circle is coming up - the circle of the 2011 arts and crafts fairs.
Looking behind to remember the many fairs I worked together with my late love of my life and now am again visiting by myself; Sometimes camping out or visiting friends , grown children or just walking the trail alone.

The mystery of life is not to be understood , maybe accepted- but finding some peace in the changes that life presents to me is the ultimate goal. How to be centered in my choices and finding the colors of my trail within my heart.

This is also how I create my jewelry. Being still within me and tapping into this stillness finding the combination of colors and forms that will become the pieces I will present to you , my dear costumers and friends.
A meditation on form and color and life.
Stepping out once more after a winter of introspection please come and visit me .
