Wings and Water

CLAIMED BY A DELIGHTFUL SOUL!!

When travel looms bright on my horizon, I like to finish a project and wait until I get home to reveal it.

Depending on the level of obsession I have about a piece, it can make me feel like I am howling at the moon, mid-day on a Sunday.

This process teaches me patience, tempers my desire to get on a bullhorn and shout from the tallest hill "I did it! I dreamt it and made it!!",

and it gives me something to look forward to when I get home.

To use the word excited seems pale when I think about this necklace...

I began making it when I was having a tough day

and cut by cut, feather by feather I could feel wind gathering under my sadness

and lifting my heart

to higher ground:

it was heavenly from the start.

This necklace sings a song of redemption and grace,

a nearly religious hymn to all things earthy, sensual and divine...

It is comprised of sterling and fine silvers, copper, real turquoise, thread, veggie tanned tooling leather and elk hide in a warm mustard yellow, soft side against your heart.

And yes, like so many pieces that have stunned me with their finished beauty, I cried when I gazed upon its form.

I am not going to list this piece in the shop straightaway: I want to give me readers first dibs:

I feel it belongs to a specific woman whose face is still a mystery to me.

What I do know is that she loves wings, has strong faith in something bigger than

all this earthly claptrap and knows the pathway to her own bliss.

If you are she,

CONVO

me.

Love,

Sunny
