Yes.
Another one.
Namely because I’m obsessed with hollow forms and white enamel. Do forgive.
This one has an extra dash of magic to it that takes the form of the beautiful BEAUTIFUL prehnite beads in organic, glass smooth cuts. The pale green of that stone is so ethereal, so ghostly. Those beads make this piece feel like a rosary when I hold it in my hands; I opine this is perfectly suitable since this series is all about the Holiness of the designs of our bodies and spirits.
Also, I tab set the enameled component, which is a first for me.
Yee haw!
I’m trying to pull together a shop update around here. I have a handful of earrings finished, two necklaces and a couple of rings but I’m really focused on this body cavity series I’ve been working on (that sounds gross but don’t be afraid it’s terribly beautiful). I have the studio on and am about to hop in there and work on one more crazy necklace design that belongs to aforementioned series. Keep your fingers crossed for me! The creative waters are a bit choppy when it comes to this piece and I’m not sure I can pull it off!
Good Friday to you all, my darling tweets.

absolutely stunning J! I am now considering starting a collection of your Alabastor Bones necklaces.. I already have one, but this one is simply divine.
Watching your art grow and expand and morph is a phenomenal privilege <3
one thing i've always adored about you (and find necessary in my females) is this unending push towards ____. Well, gosh, I don't know WHAT toward…but it's an internal desire to stretch your talent, test your creative well-spring, dive into the deepest depths of art…even if that means you swim around in insecurity for some time. It's like you've come to a place where you're no longer afraid of not being good enough…of a design challenging you too much…
I think this must come when a gal realizes that what she is made of isn't reliant on who loves her, what she makes, or how successful she is. What she is made of is entirely defined by herself. Once you love those bits of the soul, nothing and no one can steal that.
Even a difficult day in the studio.
You're my hero today, blondie.

You are certainly allowed this obsession…
Body cavity?? I am going to think if something more lovely pops into my head, that terms scares me : )

Cathy: You were the first to own one and I when I finished that original effort I was totally dazzled. I'm honored that you made a home for the first and would be honored again if you had a dozen of them! Each Alabaster has a slightly different spirit and you would shine in them ALL. Love you, woman. xx
Fawn: Well now I'm blushing. Thank you, always, for your incredible kindness.

Mme: And today you have played the role of encourager in my life. Thank you for being one of my best friends, for believing in me and for being so darn easy to love. I cherish your words this morning.
Love you.
MLJ: Fear not. This series IS going to be beautiful. It's all about, quite literally, revealing inner beauty. You won't be made nauseous. I promise.
lovin' the enamel.
the hollow forms.
the beads entwined by wire.
the pushing forward.
the outcome.
see you soon.

M: Loving you. xx
rumors, specimens, hosts, bones, and body cavities… it's quite amazing what you do with concepts that are so easily overlooked. thanks for inspiring me to look deeper into the everyday. beauty surrounds us, and i always love seeing it through your eyes!
All that talk about rosary, spirits, and holy gets me really dreamy… I at the moment am crocheting and the repetition it self is like saying Hail Mary's and Our fathers… takes me back to my Catholic grade school… good years:P
Any whoooo….
Beautiful work my lady!
Hello Snowgirl!
beautiful is your word and work…and I really love your white, oranic enamel forms!
Have a great friday
Lots of love
