Delicate Cycle III



RESERVED

Discarded Heart:
Minneapolis autumn leaf, peridot, iolite and cream enameled copper volcano.


Iolite bee wing necklace


Citrine Jacaranda Leaf necklace


Simple Maidenhair Fern Necklace


Torn Dragonfly wing with iolite
.

There is an epic shift in my head involving my work...a leap is imminent.
I cannot sleep
I forget to eat
the only priorities are care of my family
and interpreting these God whispers
that come...

This delicate cycle I was most interested in the tattered and torn: the shape of the dragonfly wing is exactly how it was offered to me. The rips and jaggedness speak of life and ultimately death.
I wonder how long the tiny beastie lived with these little badges of honor, these marks of survival.
They remind me of the pocked ears of neighborhood tomcats I love.

It seems the perfect season to add a tiny watercolor dot of gemstone pigment to the work...days grow ever shorter and more dim here. I hang on to the last light of day like a kite.

I am taking reserves for these pieces
in
the


today.

What does not get scooped lovingly into pretty palms will be available
this weekend when there's a second to list.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with abundance and shearling warmth.

With love,
Sunny

Who knew a torn wing could be even more beautiful than a 'perfect' one. You've captured its essence in this piece :)

Caitlin: isn't it something how the 'decay' or tattered-nes of it is perfect in its shape? Thank you for the kind words!! xoxo

Delicate is the perfect word...I shall be wandering about all day coveting a rolling mill! Beautiful all, but I like the dragonfly wing the best.
