I'm okay

A place for everything, everything in its place. It was always my goal to be neat.to be organized. I read articles, bought books, made lists, arranged drawers and lined things up on shelves. Bought containers, baskets, boxes. Color coded threads, yarns, polymer clay, paint and beads. Tried to line things up. Tried to learn the basics of geometrics. Before long though, spaces became filled with projects in various stages. More than one project. Gardens with measured beds were allowed to wander, wild flowers crept in among the chosen and were okay there. Things went at least somewhat back to nature. And I relaxed.
My style is free form and loose, serendipitous and meandering, my color choices are what feels right. I like natural before man-made. It is not or me to live in a magazine page home. Where would I put the seashells? the twig people, the rocks and dried moss?
Why did it take so long for me to realize who I am? and to recognize that she is okay!

It is wild, it is okay.

Copper Lace

It was a happy day when I discovered this amazing copper lace. I had not seen it before and I found it profoundly magical! It is a natural element that grows between other rock formations in areas where copper is found. It looks amazingly organic, almost botanical. I chose black wire to best show off it's natural coloring.
I couldn't just pick up one, but bought a fistful. Now I am contemplating how else to show them off.
