Yes it's an awesome job....

No crafts or art work to speak of at the moment... So here are a few of my owls...

My very favorite... it actually belongs to matt, but currently hangs in my kitchen... a little wood owl, I'm not sure how old it is, but I'm guessing that it's around my age...

One of my favorites... Picked these up at the 400 mile yard sale.

More from the yardsale:


Huge Owl Bank Matt got for me, It's over a foot tall... I'm not sure where he picked it up...

Thrift store owl... a bank from New Mexico

And those are a few of my owls......

I am seriously going to be better at blogging... I have just been so incredibly busy. I've moved... again.. closer to the down town area this time. I like my new apartment a lot better... it's a two bedroom and has a larger kitchen. I really have an art room now... which is nice. I've been painting today... nothing is finished yet but I have some ideas that are going to be awesome once i get a chance to put my ideas into motion.

I have a new job, a real job... working for an ecommerce company. I also work at a folk art gallery, that I absolutely love.... that's only on Saturdays... I don't have to have a 2nd job anymore... but art is such a huge part of my life right now that i want to be there.

I'm working on a painting right now and I'll post pictures just as soon as it's completed...

Soon...

I'm back

Okay I'm still alive... I haven't had time to really work on anything because I've been broke and working 3 jobs and then cleaning an office on top of that... but here I am...

Okay so I have this amazing guy in my life and he is making jewelry...

He made this amazing ring for me from a spoon that belonged to my grandmother...

Almost everything he makes is out of silver plated silverware...

Here are a few bracelets:


This fork is holding a stone called a Blue Goldstone


I think you would refer to this knife as a preserves knife... It's probably my favorite


These are just a FEW of the bracelet designs he has...

He has some necklace pendants as well:

This is a citris spoon with a wired in stone... I think it's gorgeous


This is his peapod style pendant I'm not sure what the purple stone is it's a little dark to be amethest, but I know the other is quartz...

Okay those are just a few of my favorites... He hasn't posted all of the pictures yet, but he is working on it right now you can check out his myspace....
