How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty.

How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty.

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young - a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God.

Psalm 84:1-3

Amongst all the chaos and uncertainty of the world now, it is comforting to know that we always have a dwelling place with the Lord.

Just like the sparrow and the swallow, we have a place at the altar.

No matter where we lay our head at night, or rise in the morning, this is something we can count on.

May you find comfort in these words…

The Sacred Heart represents the heart of Christ an

The Sacred Heart represents the heart of Christ and his sacrifice for all of us. When I see any form of a Sacred Heart, I am reminded of the vast love that Christ has for us.

I love to create with these in my jewelry, art, and drawings.

These earrings are just another example of my love of the hearts. I added the tiny brass beads to provide some whimsical movement to the earrings.

Finding tasks that don’t require a whole lot of

Finding tasks that don’t require a whole lot of strength today.

It’s hard for me to sit still and not do anything when I’m feeling under the weather. So today’s simple task was creating new links for some jewelry pieces that have been sitting for far too long.

Do you ever have ideas come into your brain and then *poof* they are gone if you don’t act on them fast?! This is one of those ideas. 😉

What are you doing today and what is on your work table?

I love when I can find a beautiful antique meersch

I love when I can find a beautiful antique meerschaum. This one caught my eye on Etsy and I just had to purchase it.

When I received it in the mail I began the process of making a mold of it so I could use it for future project pieces.

This large amber bottle was perfect for the size of the meerschaum and also for the amber coloured crystals.

After painting the meerschaum I used the crackle technique to allow that “antique aging” look to the piece. Once the dark wax was rubbed on, it truly looks like an old relic.

I love the angels and will use this meerschaum in another art project.

Happy Thursday everyone. Sharing a little bit of

Happy Thursday everyone. Sharing a little bit of Victorian history with you.

I purchased an antique letter clip with a Victorian ladies hand. The details on this piece are amazing and when I made a mold of this, those same details came through when I cast the piece.

I have recreated this piece in both soldered silver and bronze metal clay. It’s amazing to me how the details and fine lines show up in the reproductions.

From ancient Roman times through the sentimental Georgian and Victorian eras, hands have held many messages: loyalty, strength, romance and fidelity.

Happy weekend everyone!

For the past week we have enjoyed gorgeous sunny spring weather. Here in BC we have to love it while it’s here because one day can make a difference.

Today it is back to gray skies and rain forecasted for the next week. Time to spend more time in the studio making pretties.

These resin bangles are filled with everything I love - vintage paper, buttons, gem tin type photos, and sparkly glass glitter.
