Music, The Road, Rings

Larry Coryell

south of Little Bighorn Montana


Having just returned from a road trip filled with music and road food I am happily back in my studio and rings seem to be on my mind.
The drive north from Telluride Colorado was spectacular and had me musing on the need for our brains to take in new vistas and to hear new things. I have a few new heroes musically - hearing Hiromi playing with the Stanley Clarke Band, and seeing Larry Coryell were both highlights for me.
So many miles and so much to take in. I am once again charged with peoples creativity and nature's magnificence.
I wonder where this will take me?

Spring

Spring has arrived. The gardens are beautiful.
Small leaves, jewels of garnet, iolite , peridot, amethyst and of course ...pearls. New earrings.
Pendants of outline Hydrangea or an abstract image of leaves.

Next.....bracelets. Arms warmed by thoughts of summer.

A warm spring to all.

New

A few new designs; doodles and flowers.
When once it seemed that designing was the difficult part of my profession for me, now the difficulty seems to be finding the time to turn ideas into wearable pieces of jewellery.
The idea was to make a statement without the weight, the open construction balanced with gems and pearls. The enjoyment and enhancement of the wearer the ultimate function of my work.
Thank you all for fueling my passion. What fun.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.

A Friendly Collaboration

Jill Allan and I have collaborated on a new necklace using her fabulous lamp work beads. The beads are on my hand wound silk cords with a silk tassel at the bottom. The length is adjustable using the sliding silver clasp. Colour! What a treat. Cool glass, smooth silk.
The first of these pieces will be for sale at Northern Lights Gallery in Thunder Bay. Also at Shiny Fuzzy Muddy in Vancouver this weekend. Check shinyfuzzymuddy.com for details.

Harrowsmith Country Life magazine did a feature article about Cowichan Bay Farm { October 2009 }. The beautiful photos are by Jeffrey Bosdet from Victoria. Check it out at: http://www.harrowsmithcountrylife.ca/current_issue.htm or better yet pick up a copy. A sweet reminder of where I used to live.....and that farm women love pearls. Thank you Jeffrey....and my farm family too.
