It’s been a momentous week.. what with the inauguration and all the fall-out from the past several years. I have the feeling there will be a ton of information coming to the surface over the next few weeks… may we all be ready to receive the truths we all need to hear. Along with all the relief of this change in our national administration, I think I have slept better…. but I also managed to get a migraine on Wednesday, that still hasn’t abated.
So. (in other news). I've done vision boards for years and years, and generally make a new one every year. That said. When I was in PA.... somehow I only did one board over the course of 6yrs. And since moving here, haven't done one at all. (and it shows). So the other night.... knee-deep in a migraine... I started one. I will be adding to it as I find more things to collage onto it... but it's a start. (it is one of the daily snapshots in the photo at the bottom of this post)
I had intended to have a jewelry trunk show this weekend…. but with my migraine and weird sleeping issues…. it is not going to happen. And that is ok. I think it will (hopefully) give me some extra time to make a few more items to offer to folks. One of the things I was able to get done, was to work on some ‘older’ projects. Usually, I tend to make one of a kind pieces, occasionally, I will make something similar to another piece if someone is interested. But I have purchased supplies over the past several years to make some ‘multiples’ of items. I made 5 bracelets with matte finish beads on a Chakra theme. And then 5 bar necklaces with those same beads, and stainless steel findings. I also made 5 bracelets on a Solar System theme.. including all the planets, and Saturn’s ring (which is sterling silver)… and PLUTO! I couldn’t leave out Pluto. All the beads are gemstones in a matte finish. I’m also working on glass earrings on a theme for Valentine’s Day.
I also am now able to share photos of some jewelry pieces I did for a friend, to gift to people at Christmas. A 14kGP cross with CZ stones, and complimentary earrings. A bar necklace with carved branch coral, and 18kGP chain. And an Amethyst themed choker style necklace with sterling silver handmade beads and clasp. For another friend, I did the sterling silver earrings with yellow Sapphires! These are hand cut stone beads from India, and the color is so rich. And… another pair of earrings featuring grey, rainbow, and peach moonstone beads and sterling silver. This pair will probably go in my Etsy shop this week.
And of course, I’m still taking daily photos for my ongoing 365 photo project (ongoing since 2010. Here are some of the photos from this week’s ‘snapshot for the day’….
