If my hands are candles, they are burning at both ends these days.
I am proceeding with my shop update tomorrow at 12 noon, mountain time! I hope you’ll swing by.
I will be listing my little wolf pack as well as one Saint Wapiti Necklace — a straggler from the batch I was working on before Christmas (that seems so long ago now). I have plenty of other bits and pieces finished but am hanging onto everything outside of the wolf work until I can increase the volume of a couple series and further explore a few design ideas. I don’t want to rush through anything or pass over any rabbit trails. Getting back into the swing of things here has been a savage old fight — self against self.
I will testify to the fact that creative bottlenecking is a very real thing! After being away from the studio for the better part of two months, I shot off in over a dozen different directions in my first week back at work and the finished pieces I have laid out on the studio tables are evidence — it’s all over the place, more than usual. It’s like I opened up my mind and heart and instead of a slow trickle of ideas, there was a cacophonous explosion that left me reeling…too many different things all at once, a lot of frustration, a bit of chaos, a handful of sleepless nights…
Work has simmered down now and I’m feeling slightly more routinized which is quite lovely. I’m going out to the studio like a steady old mule now instead of a velociraptor with seventeen arms and firecrackers in its ears. I exhaust myself.

Until Tomorrow!
