last watercolors for awhile

Although I haven't posted for three weeks, I have spent a little time each weekend creating. The pieces here are from weeks one and two. I don't care for either of them and am about ready to throw in the towel on watercolor. After eight months there continue to be more flops than gems. It's time to move on. This past weekend I put the watercolor supplies away and started my first improvisational quilting project. I had thoroughly enjoyed it and time flew by. I'll post photos, probably my next post. 

jewelry for me, cards for friends

 

When I lost one of my moon earrings recently, I knew it was a sign to take a break from watercolor. It felt so good last weekend to make new moon earrings and this quartz bracelet. Quartz protects against negativity, attunes to the higher self and relieves pain, all qualities I'm in need of right now. 

Today I took some time to make cards for a couple friends. The glitter at the center of the flowers doesn't show in the photo, but that's ok. I notice with my cards, I tend to lean toward simple and uncomplicated. That's how I like my life too, and when things get overwhelming and out of balance, well, I need quartz - LOL :D
