Animal Sketches - Celtic Inspired

 It is usually at this time of year... most every year... that we treat ourselves with new sketchbooks...

...it doesn't mean that our old sketchbooks are full...

or that we are not going to fill them up ... 

 au contraire...

... we just want to be ready if the urge strikes... or ideas pounce...  to indulge ourselves by scrawling across the page

 .. just imagine if you got in the zone and couldn't stop...  it would be terrible to run out of paper, especially heading into the depths of winter.

Oh yes, I know, there are tons of other surfaces to draw on... walls... desktops... arms...  clothing... each other...

but Fresh Paper  ... ahhhhh...   it's almost as enticing as wafts of fresh bread straight from the oven.

A set of these were sent off to a customer a week or two ago.

I have a pair of these earrings on as I write this... come to think of it, I wear this design a lot.

... approx. 2 3/4" long, top of earwire to bottom of stone, $35.

Bracelet $50.

Sterling Silver Spiral with wire wrapped Labradorite.

Very light and airy with a subtle glow

...overall length about 2", $25.

Steel and Crystal.. The steel is inspired by the treble clef.

approx. 2" long from top of earwire to bottom of crystal, $25.

All jewelry designs are available, if interested my contact info is on my sidebar.

Had to post this Herring Gull. 

 He sat so long and so still, watching the boats come in... he was waiting and he knew what he was waiting for.

I like these birds.. yes I know they are scavengers...  that's why... I relate.
