Pendulum Swing to Leather

tooled leather purse

These are the things my hands did today, small increments of progress on each piece

as Orion and the babysitter enjoyed their time together.

My fingers ache and the callous on my middle right finger is throbbing with overuse.

I don't care:

I look at this collection and I see the most meaningful

fearless work

exploring themes and places so fresh

...

death and rebirth

the symbolic kindness of fungi

the comfort of darkness

and beauty of predatory animals...

May is for making whatever I choose.

Bliss!

In June I am toying with the idea of offering a few custom slots in the metal and leather shops.

Toying...

we'll see!!

A good night to you.
