When I started this blog, I had so many ideas and not so much time. Taking time to design anything is always a process that is very time consuming. Sometimes, just after finishing a new jewelry piece I think to myself, well that won’t take a lot of time to recreate. The truth is, I amContinue reading “Anchors and Moments”

Inspiration Therapy
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Inspiration.” Inspiration to create can come from where I feel balance.

Flower Path
Photography Class – Day Eight Theme: Natural World & Leading Lines.
