whispers

i love it when things flow, as they have been doing these past few weeks for me in the studio.  thank goodness, i say, because there are so often times when things are rusty and creaky and just do not want to move freely on their own.  when i saw all of these words laid out in a row like this, soft and whisper-light, i thought it would be lovely to make them all the same, since the words and emotions are each and every one succinct, unique. i absolutely love these earrings - featherweight, fluttery things that remind me of wind chimes in the early morning mist.  it was a lovely thing to sit out on the deck last evening when the last of the sun was down behind the mountains, yet there was still ample soft light at that magic hour to work with the silver pieces in my lap. i live such a  beautiful life - quiet and easy at times, frenetic and overfilled often enough.  to be able to translate what i feel and see and do into my work, into things that will be appreciated and worn by like-minded souls, is a gift of which i never tire. these remind me of this beautiful place (although, heaven knows, the waters are anything but still): 

“When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself. ”  - Jacques Cousteau

ooooohhhhhhhhh, nice...things are "flowing" for sure.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Nina you have the light. Thank you.

Your jewelry is beautiful as always and you are inspiring as always. I love the way you live your life and where you find inspiration. And I really want to know how you found the courage to sail across the forest of Ecuador on a zip line!
