[Spare Necklace: sterling]
It’s so quiet here.
The quiet is a sort of pit a pygmy would use to trap a vibrant tiger in some sweaty and tropical place.
I keep falling in — arse over tea kettle — into the quiet.
It’s beautiful, silent and cool down here.
I can see the jungle above, waving broad and thorny leaves around,
but I’m removed from it
and that feels nice.
Out in the studio, the music played softly today.
I can’t stand lyrics right now. The voices and words seem to
add to the noise in my head. I feel hypersensitive, to diction, words….a lack of words….too many words…words words words. It’s Bach, Chopin and other musicalities keeping me company as I work.
My soul has felt so spare lately.
If it were a geographical space, it would be a windswept Siberian steppe:
winter grasses tawny and thin, buffeted by icy wind.
If it were a room, there would be white walls, tall windows, and a
humble white bed in the center of the space
dressed in alabaster sheets and quilts.
There is quiet here.
All things seem minimal.
Liminal.
It’s coming out in metal forms and for that, I’m grateful.
Lovely pieces, I really like the chain of the first one- so delicate and perfectly balanced.
…mmmmm quiet waters reflect better don't they? Is it bad that your first piece made me think of Chinese Noodle sticks… in a yummy art-full way! :o) Anywho, as far as 'art making music' I love me some Sigor Ros.. you know them? I find lyrics I can't understand to be lovely and non-distracting! :o)

Heidi: Thanks chickadee!
Mel B: That's not bad at all! I don't really take anything too seriously, for the record, I'll never be insulted by what you see — no matter how noodle-ish.
As for Sigur Ros — LOVE.
I have been listening to classical all day because I couldn't stand the lyrics or words, or voices either. I think after a quick road trip to and from Santa Fe with tunes playing for 6hrs each way, I am "tuned" out. I have had the windows open, candles flickering in each room in a grey and overcast day. I am in heaven. My favorite kind of day. I am now enjoying a glass of "two buck chuck" merlot I picked up on my trip south.
Cheers(clink)!
It is in the quiet, that I believe the strongest form of creativity emerges.
Your pieces are stunning…the second one is just flawless – with weight and beauty.

the spare necklace is so touchable.xx
oh i love these necklaces. so unique and beautiful.
when i feel like you now, i love being alone. i feel a bit more breakable than usual, and very silent. but it's kind of lovely–beauty just sort of tumbles out.
here also:
minimal.
quietude.
liminal.
my soul feels to be preparing for winter.

I have to try to put this in to honest words..
I´m grateful for finding you, your blog, your voice in your writings and your amazing works of art. You just keep amazing me time after time.

I envy your quiet and solitude. This post especially spoke to me and I think that's why I like the jewelry you posted today more than any others I've seen on your site. Thanks for the imagery of your quiet day. It gave me a moment of peace.
Such lovely pieces, so elegant and refined, created in the stillness of time…how very special!
Peaceful post. It's gorgeous.
The necklaces are b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.

Janel: Yeah! Sounds like a perfect day!
B: Oh. You're really lovely. Thank you.
Mountaindreamers: !!! GIRL! Nice to have you here today! It surely is a touchable piece. The weight is comforting to the fingertips.
Bee: Well. I think that's true! I think I feel the same way. Not sad. A bit fragile. Quiet in the marrow of my bones…
Fox: Ah. I should have known! Glad we're spinning on parallels! x
Piia: Thank you for being so kind, and thanks for taking a moment to be in my world. x
Jenetta: Well gosh! You're wonderful! Thanks for really connecting with me — it's the kind of thing that makes the world go round!
WOP: xxxx
Mash: It WAS really peaceful here yesterday. And again this morning. I really love my home.
I love the simplicity of these pieces…sometimes we don't want to disturb the air that surrounds us. Enjoy your silence…
I think the eucalyptus pod necklace would feel lovely. I can almost feel how perfectly it would rest on my collarbone.
So very zen, so very pure in essence…just lovely!
Hi girlie been a moment since I got a quiet moment to sit down and comment on your lovlies. I love the new style you are heading in with the pendant with the pod gosh I love pods too. Still working on my jewelry here and there, I too have been busy last month doing Blueberries at my farm and this last weekend collecting some of the last of the grapes of the season isn't rit great just eating everything so fresh and natural. Do you freeze your blueberries I do I just have to have them all the year long to eat with everything.
