It's been a while since I've done a journal feature singling out an individual artist, but for the last few months I've truly enjoyed watching the art of
Their jewelry has a well-balanced classical feel with just the right admixture of whimsical, ethnic and organic elements to make each of their pieces individual and unique, but still very wearable and versatile. I love their inspired use of stone mixtures as well. Oh, and the presentation - just flawless!

After we've had to endure two separate weeks of severely cold temperatures for Texas and some ice and snow as well, it looks like the weather is giving us a break right now. Temperatures are in the upper 60s, and I for one am not complaining. I've just finished a miserable 10 days of some kind of weird cold that settled on my eyes and gave me a nasty bout of conjunctivitis, so I am glad I can finally see again and go outside.
The yard of course is a total train-wreck after all the freezing temperatures and some plants like my gardenias and jasmines are a total write-off this year, so I'm spending my weekend split between carving some silver clay pieces and attacking my frost-corpses with my trusty rose snippers.
Posting's been a little slow for me, but that's because I am putting so much time into a bead-embroidered evening bag. I am working on the back panel right now, and I think it will be quite stunning when it's done. But it's seriously eaten up thousands and thousands of beads, and weeks and weeks worth of time, so most other projects have been languishing.
Work is good - just had a client contract extended till the end of May, which is fabulous, and I am working on a few training assignments in between So far this year looks very promising. Hopefully we're done with cold snaps as well, and can look forward to spring now!

Sorry you're back to cold. I hope our current warm spell is here to stay - or at least there will be no more cold snaps. Some of the trees in the neighborhood are already starting to bud. They'd all freeze.
And yes, we DFW people have been thru odd weather this year. Almost 80° ... beautiful. BUT .... I'm not going to hold my breath considering what happened to me last spring. I thought we were done with the cold then too and went camping in the weekend of March 20th (real camping... tents and sleeping bags) and BAM we got a Texas blizzard. Not fun. SO.... yeah I'll hope for the best, because I too have some plants that have decided to pop up out of the ground and some yard that needs attending to. I also have camping plans I'd like to make. SO...
Good to hear things are going well for you!
Glad you hear you like camping! I've been making plans with my husband, too, to pack up the tent and hit one of the lakes that has a few hiking trails. Spring is really so perfect for that - summer can sometimes be a bit of a drag...
