Life is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?

lol... You picked the two colors that I picked for myself. I'm trying to add more turquoise & coral to my own wardrobe this summer. It's a beautiful combination. I may have to drop by your shop to see if you have more of those coral beads. BTW, I just got back from vacation last night and was greeted by your package. Can't wait to get started creating again!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the quote, and the inspiration board is beautiful! And as always, am enjoying your posts of new items at Bumbershoot.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Sharon! How clever you are. When I see pieces like yours I sit in awe and wonder "how do they know where and how to start!!" As you know, I love to create with mixed media, but truly despair of myself when it comes to creating something along the lines of your Boards. When I try, my mind usually goes blank. A little bird in a nest in a piece of vintage kitchenalia is nothing in comparison! Maybe I need mixed media/collage classes to help free up the creative side of my brain! :))
ReplyDeletep.s. the gorgeous drops all arrived safely, thanks. x
