Moved to a new Place

snow and art day

The only reason I was able to find time this week to do art is because of all the snow Our little corner of Northwestern Washington State has received in the last couple of days. Today it was blowing across our lane and I barely made it home…on a wing and a prayer…comes to mind. I just have to love my old Ford Bronco II on days like these. It may be vintage (I am being kind here to my car it is really a beater) but it got me home this morning. My husband’s nice big diesel truck couldn’t plow through the snow as I did, to park in my driveway. The picture is of the most recent snow with my hubby and son digging a track so he can park at home.
The art is a picture of the 4x4 page I made for Vicki Mack’s uplifting book. One of her friends is putting it together. Vicki suffered a brain aneurysm and is in the hospital for a few weeks. A friend who lives near her has organized a book for her from your online friends. Light a candle for Vicki everyone.
Peace

Here is a pendant I made in one of Susan Lenart-Kazmers frames. I like how it turned out.

Winter Scene

This never happens here, on this island, but about every 10 years we get a nor'eastern coming out of Canada, and we get a deep freeze. We love it for a while and then start worrying about things like pipes freezing, roads icing, and tree branches over power lines which mean we sleep in our studio because the house doesn't have a wood stove. It is a special treat when it snows first then the cold comes in and the snow stays for a few days.. Normally it snows and melts in about an hour.
I have had time to post new jewlery on my other blog www.retrorosedesign.typepad.com check it out!
I took this picture of a tree in our front yard.

This is just a small portion of my, as I call it, my blessed mess! I love my mess. I am trying so hard to share with others! My life, my mess, my interests, love, time, and stuff I know. Maybe tomorrow I will reveal more.....R

Bad Day Beautiful

Sometimes the best thing to do on one of "those" days is to hike or explore or visit one of your favorite places. This is San Juan County Park. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world. This is where I go to make a bad day Beautiful.

Found Objects Cont

Found Object Art

So what constitutes a found object? Is it some rusted piece of tin or a smashed brass button, one mitten? Or, is it wonderful like these old treasures I found at a tag sale? Maybe it is some other amazing thing found in the bottom of an old wooden crate or the corner of a jewel box?
Here are some pictures of my newest, old found objects.
