Butterfly Art and Gemstone Dreams

Sometimes, an idea for artwork just comes to me while I’m waking up in the morning. But, I can’t wait for that… and have to rely on what catches my eye…when they’re open. For inspiration, I have many favorite things saved to my Pinterest account, including insects, amazing graphic butterflies, and gemstones for reference material.Continue reading “Butterfly Art and Gemstone Dreams”

Quilt Inspiring

I was inspired by many creative people from all over the world in 2022. Picture yourself in Dorset England, where Chantal Dubé reached out to me from the coastal town of Bournemouth!

Eye Candy Witness

  Eye Candy is a phrase used to describe something beautiful to look at. The sunset last night was just that. We were drawn to the light as it ushered our eyes into a celebration of color! The contrast of the dark budding branches on the backdrop of blue and pink gradients of color was sent from heavenContinue reading “Eye Candy Witness”

Anchors and Moments

  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”
