i'm hammering nature into silver today... and letter by letter, word by word, i am infusing the emotions that i feel when submerging myself in these incredible surroundings. this is an absolutely beautiful world in which we live, i know this much is true. xo
When I bring to you colored
toys, my child,
I understand why there is such a play of colors
on clouds, on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints
---when I give colored toys to you, my child.
When I sing to make you dance
I truly know why there is music in leaves,
and why waves send their chorus of voices
to the heart of the listening earth
---when I sing to make you dance.

Fair spirit called to me. Today is fair and bright I to have a feeling of goodness about the world that is hard to contain. It just wants to bubble out of me.

Hi Nina!
The birds have absolutly gone kee-razy here in the finger lakes of New York! I think that your jewelry pieces in your last post are magnificent! Beautiful and inspiring. You have cranked out a tremendous amount of work in a very short time. I will have a photo of a two new pendants on my blog tommorow night. Most of my jewelry ideas are being influenced by Elizabeth the I at the moment! Thanks for your sharing art and words...Linda F

The subject is fully clear but why does the text lack clarity? But in general your blog is great.
