On Bohdi deluxe and gravatar avatars…..
I just had the opportunity to create one of my bohdi leaf necklaces for a lovely customer who envisioned 100 inches of silver goodness!….I usually make this piece 6o” long, with 5 leaves stationed asymmetrically around the chain. This one has 7, quite an auspicious number! The number 7 is considered lucky, and holds a [...]
a little heart and soul….
A friend was talking about Andy Goldsworthy on her blog last week…she reminded me just how much I adore his work…check out the link if you have the time…you will be AMAZED……me, I am just messing around and having some fun..though I will tell you, this is a genuine token of my appreciation for your [...]
Today’s mission…..
Today’s mission is to find the perfect pumpkin….. no harm meant, but how on earth does one choose, in this sea of orange goodness?
