Loss and desire



Not quite sure where the ambition came from to make these, but I did!
Finally! Well, I guess the ambition came from a desire.
I haven't made much jewelry in the past year, just haven't had the heart to do it, being that it was something I shared closely with someone who is now gone, it sort of made me sad. For some reason, I want to again. Is it part of the healing process? Maybe, not sure. Creating is something I always feel a need to do, but sort of took a step back for a while.
Regardless or why or what, I am WANTING to do this again, and am at least happy about feeling that way!
I have lost lots and lots over the past year. More than I ever thought I could, but to get the desire to create back, makes me feel just an eetsy bit better. It doesn't replace anything, it does give me a feeling of peacefulness, which I have longed for, and am extremely grateful to have.


Haven't decided what to do with these. In my etsy store, I have only photography listed, and removed all the jewelry listings long ago. It looks better if I only have the one subject in there, instead of jewelry and photography. Maybe a separate store?

I always like to think, where you had a special bond with your mom and jewelry making..she is giving you ideas and right there with you..that is why you are at peace.
The thing I use to tell my mom when we did things together.."We are making memories"..You know,all the beautiful memories you have, they are a blessing..Thinking of you/and step dad always..xoxoCarolyn
