reflection

The theme while out walking 

seemed to be reflections in water 

The lovely geometry of a power line:

The world in a raindrop:

A tree branch in a puddle:

Branch and root weaving in and out:

Mirrored spikes of grass:

They are mounted on 6x6 mulberry paper cards of the loveliest shade of teal - with a matching envelope.

silver linings

Many cloudy sky paintings from this week:

"Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud 

Turn forth her silver lining on the night?

I did not err;

There does a sable cloud

Turn forth her silver lining on the night,

And casts a gleam over this tufted grove."

-John Milton, Comus, 1634

sowing seeds

To plant a garden

Is to believe in tomorrow. 

-Audrey Hepburn

This is going in the mail to California today.

It's one of my "shield stones," 

of which I need to make more! 

Tattoo art.

Celtic knot.

Nordic shield.

watercolor sky : a sketch

seven minutes ... make a cup of tea and settle in for some calm and quiet ... with love from me to you

time lapse

I'm not sure how this will post, so here goes 

This is a time lapse video of a watercolor sketch in process ...

It was 4 takes - so 4 sketches:

This is the final one:

snowy day

The world is made so instantly beautiful all wrapped in snow.

And the walk to work was all quiet except for the crunch crunch under my feet.

the sun also rises

winter makings

It was a day off from my hardware store job today.

I had a need to Make Something.

So I did.

Wool on a spindle. 

It is surprisingly simple to handspin wool 

- peaceful, calming, meditative as well -

Soap in a mold.

Cold process soap with an essential oil blend called "Happy." I Made this! And, yes, this is also surprisingly simple to do.

Wood spools in a dish.

This was a gift brought over by a friend today. Someone who knows how I love to repurpose cast off treasures. So "Something to Make Someday" is what this is.

And rain on the window.

A rainy winter day from The Maker of all things good. It started as snow, ended as rain and I still have 2 more days off.
