Feeling stuck? Change your point of view. Go somewhere new, even in a familiar place, to see what new vistas arise. It’s a mood booster. Even if the view isn’t gorgeous, it’s in our world and who knows what you will see.❤️

Unusual viewpoint.

Gratitude, at the very least, feels like kindness. I offered thanks to our holiday tree this year as I set it out for the local Boy Scout troop to recycle. Maybe it’s not enough. But I think I’m a better human for it. Hopefully the world is then better, too. #grateful #gratitude #littlethings

Waiting to pick up the kiddo from school.

Morning arrives, like it does, every day. Always a new chance to do things differently... or the same.... whichever works. =)

It's raining hard. There's a cat and the potential of tea (I did manage to make that early morning cup of coffee) and a warm shower and maybe watching "Dune" again. Or procreate art stuff. Or... just... watching the rain. #caturday #slowliving #beherenow #tabbycat

My not having coffee yet this morning is interfering with my ability to achieve having coffee. zzzzz. It's hard to get out of the chair to go do the thing that makes coffee appear in the kitchen. This is the first coffee I had this year on Jan 1, this photo. With South African rusks.

I put twinkly lights around my wooden stump that holds my anvil. Yay! What happy cozy things do you do in your space? #artspace #artstudio #cozylights

brrrrrr.............

Long gone to a forever home but still fondly remembered. #artjewelry #juiceglass #artglassjewelry #elephantjewelry #elephantart

setting a ruby next to art glass. They work together awesomely!

Koyaanisqatsi with the Portland Symphony and the Portland Symphonic Choir was a bucket list fulfillment event for me. It was transcendent and visceral and amazing. #philipglass #portlandsymphony #philipglassensemble

I have a cat. This is important content. *nods sagely* Her name is Bellaluna. #tabby #catsrule #tabbycats #rescuecat

A recent large pendant I created, using my own art glass and sterling silver. I would love to follow more artists and creatives! Art is good food! =) #jewelrylover #metalsmith #jewelry #silverjewelry #artglass #glassart #artlover

I mentioned soldering in a previous post. I'm a metalsmith, of the jeweler variety. Shiny things, magpie things. Art glass pieces I make myself. I just like sharing what I find beautiful, unique, interesting. Places I want to be or live (shrink ray!) And that includes jewelry, mine and others.
