April Winter


How's your spring looking -
colorful, flowery, green?

Ours is looking mighty wintery.
These images were made on April 19!


It's beautiful, but......
snowstorms in April???!!!


Wishing you a perfect, creative spring,
in whatever manner that comes to mind.

Auto Love


We are snared in the grips of the never-ending-winter. 
More snow fell again this week!
This predicament leaves me craving color, and warmth.

So, I've dug into the dusty vaults of my computer to finally edit images
 from our area's annual summer classic car show.

Without further ado, please enjoy with me...
gorgeous color,
fascinating form,
intriguing reflections,
and
glittering chrome.











More classic cars to come in an auto love sequel.

A Wish


Wishing you warm spring days and
a blessed Easter!







P.S. all Easter decorating thanks to our lovely daughter, 
who was home from college for Spring Break.

Spring Dreams



I called Ms. Spring and left a message,
 "Please come to visit and stay a while.  I miss you so!"
I haven't received any reply.

So, I continue to cross country ski on the snow (no lie)...
looking at white fields, forests, and frozen lake.



But, I daydream of spring....

And, hear the florist's shop calling my name.
And, purchase small tulips.
And, revel in their delicate form.
And, dream of spring.




Wishing you a colorful and creative spring!

Chained


Currently I'm chained to my studio...well, figuratively anyway.
I'm busy working toward a bead show deadline.
Coming up for air in a couple weeks.  
See you then.


In the meantime, happy creating!

P.S. Check out this link which gathers together
numerous links showing how to convert
 a purse into an attractive camera bag.
I need to try this!

In the Works


Dreams, plans, projects, and goals make life interesting
 and keep us moving happily forward.
I know they do for me, anyway.

As for projects, I've got a couple exciting ones I'm working on right now.
The first is an elaborate beaded necklace for a show.
  I'll share a photo later when I finish, but for now you'll have to use your imagination.
Picture nature magnified under glass cabochons, bedazzling Swarovski crystals,
luminous dichroic glass, gold plated beads, and carved stone.
Sparkle aplenty!


The second is a personal project, a book project.
As you may have guessed, I'm a book lover.
So, I've dreamed of putting some of my macros together in book form.
I decided this is the year to do it!

I'm currently printing out images and designing the layout of the double page spreads -
balancing color, detail, form, and subject matter.
I can tell you it's really fun and engrossing.

Next, comes answering questions like - 
where to have it printed, how many copies to print, and what size book do I want ????
Caroline made me aware of Artifact Uprising,
which looks like a great printing possibility.....
hmmmmmm.

Yep, life is interesting with projects in hand and lots of dreams.
What projects do you have in the works?

Winter Rain


A few weeks ago, we had a winter rain.
This is not the norm for the frozen north,
but a welcome sight for someone who loves water drops, 
reflections, and worlds within worlds.
Yes, that would be me :)





Happy hunting for fascinating views!
