  • Thursday’s Pics – The Day of the Dragonfly

    Thursday being a day sacred to the Old Ones Jupiter and Juno, Zeus and Hera and Thor, the colors associated with them made today’s Etsy store choices my favorite ones; Asymmetrical-Midnight-Spiral-earcuff-and-earring-set-163x300Asymmetrical-Midnight-Spiral-earrings-300x204

    Green and Royal Blue.  The Asymmetrical Midnight Spiral Goddess Earcuff and Earring Set and it’s matching earrings were absolute joys to make, rich with these “oil-slick” like colors. Their iridescence is hypnotic – I could make jewelry from these colors all day and never get bored of them. Their otherworldly glow extends even to tarot bag fabrics, which I can never seem to leave in the fabric stores when the catch my attention.

Copper, dragonflies and swarovski crystals made these simple, little designs so magickal for me, I can scarcely form the words for how they touch me. Read their story in the store listing – they were truly made with the purest love for the art of jewelry-making I could ever express.

  • Heading towards…something

    Dragonflies never rest, are always darting about their environment as if in an eternal search for something. You could say I am the same way. My crafting studio is crammed with books, beads, lace and fabrics. When I began years ago, there were always new parasol, jewelry or purse designs to be found out there. Though I have refocused my attention these past  and I am on a never-ending quest to hone my sewing skills ’till I find it. When will I know when I have that perfect design? When you can’t resist buying something.

    But truthfully, we never reach perfection and I’m not looking to be perfect. I just want to have fun and make something that makes someone go, “Ooooo, that’s pretty.”

    If you do, then I’ve done my job.
