Time passes and things change even when they seemingly stay the same.
This blog began as a way to express and share my loss of my darling JD. Over time it has evolved into sharing what I'm becoming and how I'm adapting. That may or may not have interest for others but it has helped me a lot to "talk" to those who "listen". If it has helped anyone else along the way I am simply overjoyed!
Now that is an odd word. Can you be "over" joyed? LOL Just a passing thought.
Since at least 50% of my life now revolves around my jewelry and creating (well, that isn't a real change since even sharing life with JD that was true for both of us) I am changing the blog to a jewelry blog.
I'll be sharing my adventures in creating, selling, developing skills, et al.
Frankly I'm not all that sure, with all the jewelry and creative blogs out there, that what I write and post will actually add to the knowledge base but perhaps my own perspective will speak in a way that others don't?
If I can help one person become/do what is fulfilling to them then its worth my time.
The reasons for changing are multiple but inspired by the fact that if I want to belong to the group that is sharing materials and doing challenges I have to have a jewelry blog. I think it will be fun and I certainly have materials to exchange!!!
Right now I'm in metamorphosis. I'm purging much that I've collected for this or that purpose. The majority of wood and the large metal pieces are going. Woodcarving is the least of my skills (unless you want to count writing!) and takes up a huge amount of space I do not have anymore. Thus I'm going very small on the carving supplies and tools. That lovely old beat up metal table in my carving room will become a torching area. I'm still planning on small stone and wood carvings but mostly very small items that can be incorporated into my jewelry creations. There is a massive amount to purge. I'm re-evaluating many odds and ends of hand made tools too. When there are too many of anything none of them are useful as they can't be easily found to be used. It might be called "refining".
I find that poured acrylic, metal smithing, etc call to me more and more while stringing is just not something I want to do unless something is special ordered.
Today is the first day of full commitment to my new goals. I've been sort of doing this but now it is here and I feel more free than I've felt in a long time.
So welcome to the newest phase of my journey. I invite you to share.
