my studio table at the moment

i am trying not to panic......i have so much to finish before the art show......as you can see, lots of partially completed pieces..............

breathe...............
.....breathe..............in................ and out.......

i came across an idea in a sommerset magazine that i just had to try which slowed me down a bit, but i just had to give it a try and i am so glad i did. in the midst of the chaos i also decided to jump in and just make a few of my own chains and clasps......nope....i could not just stick with what i know....as hard as i tried to wait until after the art show to try these neat new things.....i just couldn't. it seemed fighting the urge was taking up more time than just going for it, so i did.

another project underway

black swarvoski, black onyx, amazonite, blue quartz, and turquoise........
after this piece i need a break from all that is blue in color
maybe some solder work next, or maybe create another neck piece
with beads in oranges, yellows and reds, bright sun-shiney vibrant and alive colors

.... somehow i will just know what direction i am suppose to go in next .....

divine inspiration maybe

one thing that i do know is that i am so very grateful
for the inspiration and ideas that seem to
come about the time i begin to want to hit
the panic button, which happens when
i find myself staring into a pile of beads
thinking .......what am i going to do with these
to do them justice????......

i close my eyes
i breathe
and poof

below is my latest poof.........
