Happiness is the beauty of nature

It's the little things in life that make me happy. What a better way of starting your day than admiring one of God's creations up close. Sharing this with you. I don't know what kind of a moth this is, but when it opened it's wings it was the size of my hand... so beautiful, just resting on my skirt...

I've been a bad girl

I have totally neglected my blog. Absolutely no excuse, I just got into a bead making mode... and buried myself in my studio-garage for months... making beads after beads after beads... I think I got it, whatever it was, out of my system now. And I have finally decided to list some of my children for sale in my etsy shop... so stop by...


Also I've gotten back to etching, conveniently after finding out that ferric chloride is almost impossible to find anywhere. Luckily, being related to a pack rat... I of course had some left in my cupboard that I could use for this pendant, and after it's gone I will have to make my own from hydrogen peroxide and pool acid... yikes... talk about another "dangerous" mission in an artists life. I will keep you posted how it will turn out, in a littlebit... need time to grow bigger cahonas first...
