I was so excited to find my package from
Sharon of Sweet Repose in the mailbox! Sharon makes uniquely beautiful jewelry. I had lusted over her necklaces for a couple of years, and finally took the plunge and ordered this one. It was calling out "Dulcy..." when I saw it on her blog. Sharon's work is modern, but has such a nice vintagey antique quality to it. I love the combination of the black vintage glass with the turquoise crystals. The bird and charm are burnished and old looking. It's especially fabulous with a black or white tee shirt (I'm for keeping it simple when I'm wearing a piece like this since it makes a statement all it's own). Sharon also included a couple hunks of her luscious homemade soaps. Lilac and Brown Sugar Fig. My bathroom smells heavenly! Check out Sharon's blog so you can see her fabulous selection of repurposed antiques and vintage goodies. She also has a great take on life and art, plus her photography is wonderful!
This hot summer's day finds me diligently hooking away on my front door piece I started last month when attending
Jane Halliwell Green's workshop. I'm so excited to see that one of her rugs made it onto the cover of the new "Celebrations" book. I'm not surprised. Her work is very artfully done with lots of shading and details. Her wool is fabulous, and Jane's technique is very "painterly......"
Well.... off to run more wool through my cutter.... 4 cut..... must be patient with this one. Hope this steamy day finds you cool and comfy. Maybe working on your art, reading a good book, checking out a new flick at the cinema, or perhaps just a catnap is in order.
