I'm Ba-a-ack

Things have been kind of hectic and discombobulated around here for the last six months or so, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of making (and selling) art.  I've posted some of my new metalwork in my etsy shop, along with some new paintings and some packages of vintage papers from 19th century books, and Katie reminded me that I need to start blogging again, as well as revamp my website... so there's lots to do (not to mention the two kids at home, the one kid in college, the hubby, and my 85-year-old dad, who lives with us now. Plus five dogs, six cats, six chickens, and the three horses that are boarding in our pasture. BUT NO GOATS!!! I knew there was a bright spot there somewhere! Some of my goat adventures are chronicled here and here and here and here)

Cold and cloudy here today. I finally dragged out the heater in the studio and it's happily heating right next to my legs. I never can get it what I would call warm in here during the winter, but it's a vast improvement over my old studio in the garage, so I can't complain.

Here's a picture of one of the jewelry pieces I've been making. I love that the image is from one of my collages!

Back to work--I haven't been out here as much as I'd like, so there's lots to choose from!
