My friend Maggie Towne from California makes shells, lots of them, all different colors and it's been fun watching them evolve over time. I bought one, a long time ago, before they got fancy and stuff. And I finally made it, along with the matching discs, into this necklace. I'm not sure if I'm done with it yet.... but here's a quick shot.
I create stuff. I melt glass to make whimsical and colorful lampwork beads. I design beautiful colorful jewelry, I paint on canvas and play with clay sometimes... and I take many, many photographs. I search for beauty in all things. I love color and texture. I'm also a mom, a nature lover, a kayaker, a knitter, a gardener, a web geek... I am into reiki, peace and finding my bliss....
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? ...And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." - Marianne Williamson
