nesting brooches

Those wee nests I had begun have now come full circle. ho ho ho

I had fun giving each one its little details like moss and tiny feathers.

These are brooches, meant to be worn to welcome the coming spring.

Or maybe to encourage spring to visit. Yoo hooo...Spring...come hither!

These are making a brief stop in my online shop and then will be headed to the Gift Shop at my work.

If you're so inclined, you can see them HERE before they're on their way.

I hope you all have a wonder-filled weekend.

Happy Friday.

weekend nest-making

My hands are nest-making. Hoping to lure in Spring.

I have plans for these wee nests and hope to be finished before Spring arrives for real.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend. Here's to a good week ahead.

colorful stones in the shop today

I've finally put these two stones in my shop today. I needed color today and bam! these have it.

Here, if you'd care to take a look.

selfie in process

I worked on a project yesterday, a self-portrait for an upcoming show at the gallery at work.

It's been years, like years and years, since I've done any kind of self-portrait.

I'm not sure yet how I'll continue with this piece and I'm curious to see how it will turn out.

She looks a little sad, perhaps because I needled her face and then tried to drown her with soap and water. Just part of the process, darling.

Today it's back to work as normal so this will have to wait for now. I'll be twice as eager to return to it knowing it will be a week or more before I have this kind of me time. Me time. Ha.

Happy days to all of you.

Doing a little nesting. Or nest-making anyway.

Preparing for another workshop. A simple one, perfect for beginners.
