After the month I've had, I deserved a little treat! And since I love peacock feathers so much (who doesn't ?) I couldn't resist this little headpiece. Its definitely home-made! It sits on the head in a clumsy manner, so I will have to reshape it. The veil is in a weird position as well. But heck, its lovely on and the colors in the sunlight are an absolute delight! I even think its worthy to go over to Style Crone's Hat attack. http://stylecrone.com/hat-attack/ Always such a delight!
The funniest thing about this is that the long feathers used to frame it are just about the color that my hair USED to be! chuckle!
Oh well, a lot of things have changed in my life..... and that's just the way things are supposed to be. So here I stand at the end of 2016 waiting to welcome in a New Year.... and wondering how my life will shift and grow in the coming months. Though sometimes its uncomfortable or even frightening I always remind myself that Life is an adventure! We are here to experience and learn to live our lives as fully as possible.
As for me, a whole new stretch of my life path is now before me and I can hardly wait to start taking my first steps on it! May it be a wondrous path!
The sunset this evening.... and so begins a new day. The last day of the year. Wow, where did the time go? May 2017 be happy, prosperous and kind to all.
The shock: Freak accidents happen and usually at the most inopportune times. A cracked lid on a toilet tank broke and sliced open Archimedes leg. Upon examining the ceramic edges is was apparent that he was lucky he didn't lose that foot! Of course Archimedes was extremely unhappy with the cone! And he learned to remove it rapidly!!! Oh well, I'm just relieved he came through surgery so well. Heres hoping he leaves the stitches alone long enough that his foot can heal properly.
The twist: Since I'm having such a difficult time getting my life back together I decided to try something fairly simple that gives quick results as far as creating goes. And wire wrap jewelry is what I chose. chuckle I have LOTS of supplies! Beads, shells, wire, buttons, what-nots and thingamabobbies!!! Things that are still tucked away... just waiting to be unearthed and made into something lovely.
It "sort of" fulfills my desire to do metal jewelry again. At least it will do for now. Will be combining it with wooden pieces in the future. And of course there will be some coins and belly dance bells included! hahaha Actually some small projects are just what I need. But if I keep adding things the pieces will just keep getting bigger. Oh my, its just Fate!
This little pendant is my first effort. It measures just under 1 1/2 inches long. I know, I know! That's an earring for me! hahaha But I want to try doing delicate objects for a change. And I think this medium will do just fine for that.
So remember to take care of your furry children AND keep up even those seemingly minor repairs! And try something different... even if its just a little bit so. Its a good thing to expand your knowledge and experience! Wishing everyone a wonderful night!
* Hope you've gazed westward and saw the crescent moon with Venus! What a lovely pair.
