I can't believe it has been a whole month since I posted. That's just not acceptable. However, the creative juices have not been flowing much, and now I'm in the middle of moving. Aaargh, don't like moving. I'm really sore everywhere. I did make a collage this month, which I put up on etsy for sale, but didn't post here. And I made a necklace with glass beads, and a bracelet... At least it's something... Have a great creative day (life!)

New bracelet...
I was trying to come up with something more interesting than my latest jewelry project, but times have been "more of the same" lately, so I haven't had any hot ideas! So, here's DREAM!

Sold a bracelet on etsy today...
Time to break out the champagne...! Sold this steampunk bracelet on etsy today. It has all kinds of goodies on it, and it's going to Dallas, TX. I used to live there once upon a time, back in the 80s. It was a good place to live, and I think of the Texans with great fondness! :) And I love the enormous. mostly blue, Texas skies, although they could get pretty scary at times. I've got pictures of tornado clouds, and the thunderstorms were horrendous. They've got bigger bugs in TX than we do in FL, and hotter summers, if you can believe it. For the record, didn't mind the heat... :) Anyway, keep on keeping on!

Sea Mist...
From frost to thunderstorms...we had a mist hanging over the blue blue sea and it inspired me to dig out those trusty sea inspired charms that I like so much. Blues, greens, turquoises, pale lavenders, and what the hey, throw in some pink as well, and you have all my fave colors. I made one of those dangly charm bracelets that get in your way when you wear it, but as my mother used to say: you have to suffer to be beautiful. I never bought into that though, and now I can see the fashion police coming, but Comfort is my key word when it comes to fashion. I happily supply someone else with the bling though... Some Swarovski clear crystals hold in the copper torch-fired enamel tubes. I have to buy some more beads to fire! Too many interests; I have artistic ADD. I'm also knitting a pair of wool socks, don't ask me why. We had 75 degrees here today... I've been following some fabric artist blogs and now I'm tempted to dig out my huge plastic bins with fabric. They are living in the farthest reaches of my closet where only spiders live. I used to be into fabric art big time, in one of my life times (we're talking 80s and 90s.) The era of the leg warmers, followed by moth-eaten leg warmers. They were comfy though. Speaking of the 80s, I could never get the right poof in my hair, no matter how much I permed it. Not enough there to work with. And I never had to wear shoulder pads since I'm graced with impressive shoulders, (I'm 5'10"). Remember those jackets with massive shoulder pads? Dynasty size pads... I used to cut them out and give them away. :) A strange decade... but I think of it fondly.
Keep creating!

How I used my new torch-fired enamel beads...
I really wanted to use copper chain for this charm bracelet, but since I didn't have any and couldn't get to a store, I took my good ole oxidized chain, some steel wire, some charms, and my blue/green/mauve/lavender enameled beads and created this bracelet: Mermaid's Gift!
