Collaboration - Wood and Polymer  Collaborating is a wonderful way of achieving success in producing unusual products and in developing friendships.  Throughout my interior design career I collaborated with my clients as we set out their goals for the projects.  I collaborated with many craftsmen and artists to develop those goals into finished products. After my retirement I realized I could use those same skills to work with other artists and craftsmen in creating art.        before finishing and insetting polymer        Complete As my older brother increased his skills in woodworking I wanted to see how we could work together. Cynthia Tinapple's   work with insetting polymer clay into wood gave me the idea to combine my brother's wood turning with my polymer art.   Stroppel cane inset The success of collaborative work seems to be based on recognition, trust, authenticity and passion.   I knew I would have to learn more about woodworkin

Courage               like a muscle it must be used and respected. Strength              like a muscle it must be exercised. Patience              like a muscle it takes time to develop. Persistence         like a muscle it must not be forgotten. I think I'm going to post these thoughts where I can see them several times a day!   There are so many aspects of my life where their reminder will be useful. Happy New Year to you all!

Elegant jewel tones are one of this season's best trends!  Sapphire blues, deep rich purples, vibrant  reds and luxurious gold get everyone's attention.  But too much of these colors overpower most of us.  One easy way to stay in the holiday fall/winter trend is to add them in small amounts.  A pair of earrings that combine royal blue and gold with a gold necklace, a chunky colorful choker, a luxurious one of a kind pendant are all great options to create an unforgettable outfit.  Once we get comfortable with wearing these elegant colors in small amounts, it's just another step to a vivid fushia blouse or a dramatic emerald green scarf.  Lots of ways to add dazzling colors to our wardrobes! https://www.etsy.com/listing/561910957/colorful-pendant-purple-gold-and-green?ref=shop_home_active_17 https://www.etsy.com/listing/561931081/dark-blue-and-gold-drops-shiny-blue?ref=shop_home_active_20 https://www.etsy.com/listing/80437132/romantic-purple-necklace-etched
