Nights and days came and passed And summer and winter and the rain. And it was good to be a little Island. A part of the world and a world of its own All surrounded by the bright blue sea. Margaret Wise Brown ,  The Little Island When I need to recharge, one of my favorite places to go to is the Indian Keys. Inspiration  is everywhere Lovely place, this little island...only a couple miles away from the constant noise and hum of the civilized world, yet, once you get there, everything seems so far away. Your mind is suddenly clear and awed before the incredible display of organic Art forms that The Great Artist manifests, in this moment, just for you. If you want to read about its history,  click here . Back home, I made this little pewter charm using a c ool looking sea creature skeleton fragment that I have found on the island.  A happy experiment. Unfortunately, the skeleton fragment broke to small pieces befo...

A foggy morning you're back in the street and from nowhere a voice is bolstering you: "This is your life why waste it with memories of the past and the questions about tomorrow?" Ghost hate daylight so use the moment to leave them behind. Set before you is a blessing and a curse, Thoughts can heel you, thoughts can kill you. Words can save you, words can break you. Emotions may guide you or betray you. Oxygen blue is salvation, Oxygen red is poison. As you think, so shall you be! Don't eat the bread of the beast that have the evil eye. And remember the old Indian warning: that there's a good wolf and a bad wolf fighting for your Soul be careful which you feed. Don't let the air you breath become oxygen red. As sure as day follows night there must be a way out of this mess. Smile! It's not that bad. Without struggle, there can be no progress. Now is the right time for a new try to get on with life Th...

Hi guys!!! :) I have sooo much stuff to show you and so little time, so just a quick post today before I go back to cooking and dusting and cleaning and all that fun that needs to be taken care of once in a while...Ah, my house is such a mess! An organised mess though. I know exactly where to find my supplies, my wires, it's very easy... ... they're everywhere! After every cleaning and re-organising my place, I feel lost! Everything disappears! Maybe I should start making a list, like an inventory of every item to remember where I put my stuff after cleaning. But as always, jewelry first ~ yay!! If I don't prioritize I won't get anything done at all. The guys above are vintage glass beads soldered on oxidised copper wire. Berry clusters, yum! Second pair, African terracotta beads and Carnelian. Love the swirls on the African beads, but still, they looked kinda simple for me, so I painted them with acrylics! Aren't they super pretty now? :)  The ...

“Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of Nature and it's beauty.”   ― Albert Einstein A few memories from my trip to N. Carolina :) ...rich green landscapes... ...untamed mountains... ...crystal veins within rocks... ...majestic forests... ...crimson clover fields... ...sweet wild onions, love them... ...gorgeous patterns in underground caverns... ...wild flowers... These would make gorgeous earrings. Wild Irises everywhere, my favorite flowers. Great inspiration for beads, love these shapes and colors.  "The Earth laughs in flowers." ~ Ralph W. Emerson  ...gorgeous wild flowers everywhere. Part of our hiking trail on the mountain. The Earth is a garden. Love, Laura :)
