Life's Little Wonders

It has been awhile hasn't it?

I have been in Vancouver, BC for a week now escaping New Orleans heat.  This is sort of my reset.  I've been lost but this is a normal occurrence.  I get off my path only to find my path but then get off again.

I'm thinking about the ACC show in San Francisco thinking I should go since I am so close but here I sit.  In my flat overlooking downtown.  I cannot go into coffee shops here because it is a tad to loud.  Definitly not what I'm used to.  You see New Orleans is a small big city and there are plenty of cool coffee shops to hang out and ponder.  There are times that I actually think my hood is too loud.  I will shout.  How can I work with such noise!

I found this little guy in a field of green while walking downtown.
I plucked him out of the ground and then felt guilty about it but told Chi that I would like it if he would walk with me home.  I will take him on a journey.  I was so delighted as we walked to the bus stop but all of a sudden a breeze came out of nowhere and that is when Chi decided to let go.  I stood there and shouted...NOOoooooo...
but then watched every little seed take flight.  
What a powerful visual for me to witness .  It just let go and said, bye...gotta go and do what I do.

Hahaha...my little magic of the day.  I just had an idea.  I would like to collect some of these seeds.  Is that a bad thing?  I would be preventing them from becoming.  Hmmmm....I must ponder this now.  Preferably at a quiet coffee shop.

    If you'd collected the seeds, you would prevent them from becoming a pain in the butt for a lot of gardeners :)! Those little buggers are very invasive and hard to get rid of. I loved your story, though!! Very zen….

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...

Helloooo...Is Anyone Out There?

Yes I know.  I have been off the blogger for awhile.  I swear I've been working!  ;) I have been busy trying to find my own path and I think I have finally found it. Ha!  A lot of "I"'s in that sentance.   So that being said, what exactly have I been doing? Participated in an Upcycle show at RHINO Gallery. In this show we were to use at least 75% recycled material.  This piece was  inspired by the 43 students of Ayotzinapa that were taken on September 27, 2014 and presumbly met a violent death at the hands of corrupt officials and a drug gang. . The initials of all 43 students were etched into the .38 caliber casing. I cried after comleting the piece.  It was so powerful to me. Ghosts   Designed and made earrings. Astro Earrings Sugar Skulls Did a commission. Comission Annnd made one big pendant. Louisiana Opal, sponge coral (grandma's), oxidized silver, 14KY, 22KY Am I having fun yet? ...

Pepe Jump Ring Maker...New Is Not Always Better...

For the follow up (2014) on jump ring makers go here . Introducing Pepe's new AND improved Jump Ring maker... When I received my new jump ring maker I knew the new model was more compact but did not expect it to be so unstable.  It was precarious but I accepted it.  After all I will have jump rings galore with a single swipe!  The outcome outweighed the little difference and yes...I am lazy!  hahaha!!! To the bench I go to test things out. Test No. 1 The first set of jump rings turned out great!  I was satisfied.   ☺ I then received an email saying that the top plate (cover) that came with the system was too thick and needed to be replaced.  Okay.   I receive the new plate but did not test it out until some friends were over and wanted a demo.  Well...it was difficult to place the handpiece collar over the plate.  It did not fit over the coil holding device very well.  I had to finagle it to go in ...
