One of A Kinds

Whew. I just finished with a major update of the website which included (at long last) some "one-of-a-kinds", along with some "few-of-a-kinds". These are mostly geodes and impressive gemstone specimens. Have a look:

 

There are LOTS more geodes to come-beautiful, amazing colors and sparkle. However, they need holes drilled in them. And that is my work today. I can't guarantee they will ever get up on the website as the "summer crunch" is just about to begin. if you are particularly interested in geodes, send me an email and you can choose your own!

Have a great week!

A nice thought...

I finally found a "good" bumblebee stamp for a locket. 

I love the colors. This one is from Norway. 

And so, I needed a related quote for the reverse.

Actually, just about any of the quotes I use would do,

as I try not to make particularly obvious links between the quote and image. 

However, this quote struck me.

Perhaps it is strange to put on a locket, and maybe not something you would want to give as a gift. 

But, I thought it was beautiful. 

And just a nice thought:

Last night,

as I was sleeping,

I dreamt-marvelous error!-

that I had a beehive here inside my heart.

And the golden bees were making

white combs and sweet honey

from my old 

failures.

-Antonio Machado

ps-if you like the bee and not the quote, pick another one or send me your own : )

New New!

I finally had time to work on some new lockets. 

Lucky for you I have become obsessed with stamp collecting now and have found some real beauties lately, as you can see above. All of these particular stamps are "'one -of -a -kinds" for now...get ém while you can!

Also, this weekend I will be hitting two great shows around town. On Saturday I will be at the Coolidge Corner Arts Festival, and Sunday I will have my last show until the Fall at SoWa.

The weather is supposed to be lovely-see you there!

ps- lockets (and accompanying messages) make a beautiful graduation gift!
