I have been working late at night
and early in the morning
in my make shift studio in the kitchen.
Wondering if I could ever make enough stones for my show at Craftland in January.
In the words of the littlest engine " I think I can , I think I can" . Last count was 31 and 9 covered vintage tea saucers for a wall installment. My hard working hands are definitely looking forward to a rest in the new year.

Good for you! So much accomplished. I find when I do an intense amount of handwork, my hands really feel it. A massage with lotion really helps. Your little work spot is sweet.

You are making me exhausted!
Wishing you a beautiful Christmas my friend across the oceans...

I know you can, I know you can, I know you can!
The stones look beautiful, as does your kitchen-studio. I keep a kitchen table workshop going almost all year long, a tidy pile to the side of my spot at the table allowing me to stitch a bit in between all the goings on of the day and while keeping the little one company while she nibbles slowly at her meals. :)

such a sweet tree! all of those covered stones must have taken so much work.
i was thinking of you recently when i re-read annie dillard's "teaching a stone to talk." obviously the bit about the stones reminded me of you, but the essays are more broadly about making sense of the natural world, accepting mysteries, and reveling in our interactions with nature. your art strikes a similar chord with me. have you read it? i think you would like it.

Like Melissa said, no matter how many stones & saucers you will have covered, the ones you have already made are perfect ! I know you have some kind of magic potion, so I have great hopes that you'll be able to make them all on time.
Have a great start of the first week of winter ! HUGS oxox
PS : LOVE the stone tree !

Be sure to rest the brain and the body. Vital to the spirit.

I hope you get some rest. Your stones, as always, are beautiful. I also love that red folkloric curtain.
