Stealin' Time

The natural beauty of the outdoors can be quite restorative. The peaceful flow of nature soothes and calms the mind.

We took a day trip to the forest this week.

Alabama is a beautiful state with so much wonder to discover.


This is the largest canyon east of the Mississippi River

Taking it all in.


Tiny Lizard King.


Passiflora, also known as Passion Flower, is probably my favourite type of wild flower, ever.



Bless up!

Inspiration

I have been pulled away from my studio a lot lately. My daily walks with my pack helps to keep me grounded. Believe it or now, there is a wee mountain in the distance of this shot.

There is an entire field covered in these dry, lengthy grasses. Their rhythmic dance creates a gently symphony of wind and earth.

Here is the wolf man's crazy little brother.


Bringing inspiration to life is such a good time.

Day by Day

Winter is ticking along, and I find myself thinking about the warm times to come. My mind dances around the thought of spring colors and activities.

Spring weather makes the for the best crystal mining. This is a quartz speciman my Miguel mined Arkansas. If you have never gone crystal or fossil mining, you are missing out.



Even during the dormant months, the colors of nature are ever present. You just have to look a little harder for them. This evergreen bush only shares its crimson fruits in the winter, keeping the brightly hued wild birds fed and singing.


My hands have been nimble and warm in the studio. Currently, I am inspired by the sleeping spring flowers and grasses. Here is a sneak peak of some lovelies made with repurposed materials.


What excites you most about spring?
