It Is A Who Dat Friday And A Good Friend's Birthday!!!

So what does that mean?
Here in NOLA it means you best be sporting your Black and Gold Baby!!!
I certainly am...
This is a dual purpose shirt.  
Half Saints (football) and half Hornets (basketball) but they are not the Hornets no longer.  I will not discuss that right now but anyway I am showing my love!
I should go venture outside to see how much love our city is showing today but it is just too HOT for that!

Anyhoo...
what have you all been doing?

It is my good friends birthday today.  She is flirting with thirty!  Hahaha...Flirty Thirty...who came up with that?  
I found this cute diy tutorial on sisterstuff blog which had me asking, now why didn't I think of that?. 

It is a bouquet of Blow Pops!!!
Finding a box that would fit 30 Blow Pops was kind of a challenge.  At first it was becoming a bit overwhelming and then I said...self, just get on with it.  Stop over thinking this!!!  Once I did that everything just fell into place.  I used tissue paper and Mod Podge to decorate the outside of the box.

I then added my own little bits and pieces and even stuck a Rolo in the middle so she will have one to grow on and voilà! 
Hahaha!!!
I would of liked to of placed it on her desk at work so everyone would know it was her birthday but she is out celebrating her day.  Bravo Ty!  
Birthdays mean a lot to me because on this day our world, as we knew it, was falling apart.  We had no idea what was happening and our sky was literally falling!  So we struggled (and so did another person) and we went through this great transformation to come out on the other side and here we are!  
So celebrate my friend and have a great day!  

Everyone have a great day as well!
WHO DAT!!!

The Risk to Bloom

It all started with an acorn button and grew from there. In an earlier post I mentioned this button swap blog hop, that I am participating in, and how I was immediately drawn to the acorn button.  Every day I would hold it in my hand, feel its essence, exam it, and then put it down.  This lasted for about 2 weeks. Then I remembered I had etched an oak tree on to brass when making buttons for my partner Kylie of Lotus Out Loud .  And... so begins the journey of creating something with this wonderful acorn button, which only started yesterday. Haha!  Etched brass was copper riveted to a piece of oak.  Merci beaucoup Papi for finding some oak!   I am using what Jesse taught me in his workshop .  It was the first time trying his technique.  It worked beautifully! The riveted brass was then captured with a piece of pierced copper. Voila! And then the day came  when the risk to remain tight in...

Mandalas

Mandalas have been on my mind a lot lately.   Struggling to find my truth.   I find making these in the studio calms me. Vitreous enamel, steel, and silver. Silver and copper ring Even though I knew that hard solder melts at 1450 degrees I still had to try enameling the copper.  In theory the solder should not have run.  If I only took it out of the kiln a minute sooner this may not have happened. A total melt down but I love that color!  :) Vitreous enamel, copper, and 22k gold leaf My intention for the above mandala was a ring.  The challenge was difficult but I managed to make it. Vitreous enamel, copper, 22K gold leaf, and silver I feel myself pivoting once again and feeling the need to create amulets and talismans but in sculpture form. Each person's life is like a mandala - vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life...everything t...

The Arrowmont Experience Pt. 1

I know from previous experience that I had to ask the driver to stop at a grocery store before dropping us off at Arrowmont.  I was feeling so good about having all my ducks in order and then this happened! I'm sure I screamed WTH because everyone was looking at me but I wasn't the only one in shock. I was thinking...great!  Now I will have to walk to get my wine.  LOL!!! Arrowmont for 2 entire weeks!  Yeah....Bring it on.  I can do this...roommate annd all. I was in Anne Havel's  All Fired Up: Who Knew a Torch Could Do All This? My notebook for ALLLllllll the notes I'm going to take. OMG!  I don't know where to begin.  I have so much to share.  Let's see... I fell in love with a cup. Annnd...then I bought a cup made by Jason B. Burnett.  He had me at the hexagons. Just an aside here.  I couldn't buy the cup I fell in love with.  Arrowmont has an assortment of ceramic cups in the mess hall to use....
