I will miss your encouraging ,cheerful comments too!But carry on to enjoy your work, that is what will give you enormous satisfaction until you are ready to play again!
I have another jewelry-making friend in Greece, and her fingers get very sore and cramped during the making season. As rauf said, I hope you can take rests when you need them, and wander out for a breath of Fundy wind.
I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor/artistry, Gwen! BTW I absolutely "your" Schiele--great colors ... He's a favorite of mine: unerring sense of placement, of the page as a container that I envy!
Thanks everybody, I appreciate your thoughtful comments ... I am practically worn out to the bone.. don't ever let anyone make you believe that earning your living in an Artistic manner is easy.. It's Hard work!!! As much as I love creating... I need a break or a few clones!!!
Gwen! It was a happy happy surprise to see your beautiful name float into my blog today. I hope it is not all work and no play for you on the gorgeous Bay.
Two weeks from today I will hang your crystal creations from my ears and weep with joy watching my daughter join her life with a dear man. I treasure these pieces and hope they will pass on to Lesley and maybe her daughter one day. How special the way I acquired them and the first occasion I will wear them! So much tied together. It brings tears to me now, and there will be so many things to embrace in my heart that day.
Hi there! I just purchased a pair of your earrings while visiting in Fredericton, on Queen st. Can't remember the business name right now, it will come to me. Love them! <3
Hello Gwen ... I for one am so glad to see sporadic posts from you and eagerly await the days when you have time to catch up with all of us who miss you out here in Bloglandia!
Since 1992 we have been creating our whimsical Desideratum Art Jewelry, we are now taking a Sabbatical. Yes, indeed... we have waited a long time for this. The freedom to explore and experiment with abandon and to indulge ourselves in the many fields of creativity that have been simmering away on the back burner.
...and still occasionally creating a piece of jewelry and placing it on our FB Business page Desideratum Art and Jewelry
The prospect of the future is Exhilarating to say the least.
Thank You so very much to Everyone, Individuals and Shop Owners, who have followed our work all these years... we dearly appreciate it... we hope to have lots more things to share in this next chapter of our lives.
Go Placidly Amid The Noise And Haste and Remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; And listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; They too have their story...
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you will become vain and bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans...
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism...
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass...
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself...
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should...
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul...
With all the sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.......

here's to productivity and that nose-down attention to work! I can hear it ... :)
I have another jewelry-making friend in Greece, and her fingers get very sore and cramped during the making season. As rauf said, I hope you can take rests when you need them, and wander out for a breath of Fundy wind.
I hope you get lots done! I didn't realize jewelers had "making seasons". Learn something new everyday!
