✨ Working with a chunky piece of Fine Silver (which is basically as silver as silver gets!) it’s so satisfying for me and getting back into my mini stash of silver wire of all different gauges has been a delight! ✨

✨ Yesterday was ALL about Cuffs…and a few othe ✨ Yesterday was ALL about Cuffs…and a few other things that life brings on a daily basis…and some that life brings only once in a while(thank goodness!) and others so special that thankfully life brings, and they are worth a lifetime! In other words, yesterday in my home was all about life and also about cuffs! And here are a few of them, gloriously coppery! 

✨ Cutting, shaping, texturing, refinishing and polishing cuffs takes time, so I like to spread the project across several days, and yesterday was the day I completed the last step, and now they are ready to wear! ✨ 🥳

✨ Many of my creative projects begin as creative ✨ Many of my creative projects begin as creative exploration. 

✨ Some projects truly evolve under my eyes from playing with whatever materials I have ready at hand. And by this I mean not only silver wire or copper sheet, but also needle and thread or pebbles or wooden sticks, or paint, truly anything at hand! Like when I made a necklace on a secluded beach using thread from a travel sawing kit and tiny pebbles from the beach. The necklace turned out great! I still marvel at it any time I see it, in part because I don’t think I would have the patience to thread those tiny threads now days. And that necklace soon turned into three, each dedicated to a beloved woman in my family. 

✨ Other projects start as a very vivid and specific visual image in my mind (yes, my mind often comes up with ideas drawing and designing in my head as though my brain matter itself was a travel sketchbook!)

✨ This pair of earrings came from one of those vivid-in-my-mind “this is what I want to make next”, moments. 

✨ So it seems to me that sometimes my head informs my hands: this is what we are making! And sometimes it’s the hands that take the lead as they twist this way and that playing with a medium till the brain catches on: “ah this is what we are making!” And more times than not these two approaches alternate over and over during a whole afternoon in my creative nook. Do you relate?

🩶 This piece is the one I have been working on 🩶 This piece is the one I have been working on today, sitting in my garden 🪴 while listening to wee birds chirping…and watching cats stroll by…and a handful of spiders going by…and…and…yes the garden is alive with life! And the sunshine helps me feel a bit more alive too! 😉

🩶 Soothing Amazonite + and gorgeous Labradorite alternate each other among the wood beads. Ornate copper beads, a Labradorite focal, a sweet braid and dainty copper beads complete this creation.

🩵This sweet piece is a design that spontaneousl 🩵This sweet piece is a design that spontaneously evolved during a healing retreat where I was sharing my love for stringing beads while setting intentions as part of the process of creating prayer beads and Malas to use in meditation. 

🧘 Even though when I pray or meditate I don’t use strings of beads as counters or to maintain focus on my practice, nevertheless I love creating these special pieces, whether they have a traditional number of beads, or a number of beads that spontaneously comes together, 88 in this case.

🩵I love the soft feel of the wood between my hands and the pattern of the alternating colors of the gemstones. For this piece I chose Green Aventurine and African Turquoise. The focal point is Apatite, and copper beads are sprinkled throughout.

🧘For me the practice is to be fully present while I string and to notice when my thoughts wonder into the past or into the future and gently bring them back to the moment, to softness, to stillness…till I time travel once again inside my mind…and the practice of being mindful repeats again…and again…and again. Hence creating Malas or prayer beads is in itself a practice in mindfulness and awareness. 

🩵And I am always delighted when one of these pieces finds a home, and another set of loving hands to appreciate the lightness and softness of the wood and finds delight in the colors and the little details like the braided ends that come together into a shower of strands complemented by little copper beads. 

🩵I have been desiring for a while to hold a gathering to make prayer beads and Malas….let me know if you are interested and I’ll make sure you’re in the loop when a time and place for this class is decided. It would be here on San Juan Island…unless you have another great place in mind and you are happy to gather a sweet group of people to string together. 😉

✨ Creating with metal is something I have cheris ✨ Creating with metal is something I have cherished since high school…creating jewelry is something I fell in love with even before then! And that love is still present to this day. Sometimes I drag my feet 👣 and I am slow getting to my anvil…or to my paints, something else I love creating with! But when all is said and done, I am the happiest when I’m creating! And better yet when I’m creating regularly, daily it’s the best! 

✨I look forward to sharing my most recent creations with you during the weekend of June 7 & 8, YES 🙌 during the STUDIO TOUR which this year is gathering 67 artists, sprinkled like gems throughout the island, this amazing island with amazing people and wonderful gardens and terrific views and sweet wildlife. Come for the day, or the weekend…or come to stay, either way, come enjoy some art in June! All studios will be open 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday @sjiartistsstudiotour
