winter time dreams and looking for focus

sometimes 

the winter months are 

more about

dreams

and trying

to find focus

for if one chooses

to see only

the realities

the blues and greys

will be stark

too stark

the climate

will be cold

too cold

the ice 

will be dangerous

too dangerous

but if one can see 

the sparkle

the possibilities

the beauty

the miraculous

one will thrive

one will grow



one will flourish

light bright

If you are newer 
to my little community here 
you may not be aware 
of how much I love sunlight,
how much I need sunlight, 
how much sunlight
brings me joy
and other things.

light bright
glow within
my heart this day
bring me warmth
bring me patience
bring me comfort
bring me courage
dearest light bright

I will try

I so much love blues and purples and sparkly whites. Yet in January, in Saskatchewan, one feels sometimes that the blues are too cold, the greys are overtaking the sparkly whites. Essentially, I need to look for warmth at times. What better place to accomplish that than in my journal pages, in my art.



My wish for you this day ~ many warm angel thoughts blending together with createful colours to warm your heart and soul, in just the right way.

something different

from me.

I had encountered some mixed media artists in the past year or two that have been doing different sorts of things with jewelry. I was intrigued. Also I have observed that people sometimes are more interested in purchasing something they can wear more than something to hang on the wall to decorate a space or to be admired as art. 
 
Some of the newest mixed media for me involves working with sculpey clay. The above larger beads are my own. These groupings will be worked together to form a beautiful necklace. I will show you another day.



The above necklace is unique, being made with an empty, sterilized insulin vial. I have had diabetes for 50 years now. I am proud of the fact. I am happy to have determined a use for some of the daily medication "waste" and happy to be able to recycle. "Hope" has been a very important word to me all along. I hope that you have found a place for it within your heart as well.



More jewelry parts made with sculpey clay.

Now I am away to more adventures with creating.
Angels be with you my friends.
