Every time I walk around our building site new bits of beautiful rubbish have been unearthed by my husbands hard work of construction on our home. I am giving them new stories!

Every pendant is a piece of unaltered piece of glass unearthed on our property during our building process.
I spun them around in a tumbler to take off the sharp edges and added some Tiny transfers from Iron Orchid Designs. Each piece is surrounded by a coil of clay that has been painted and patinaed with a copper and gold wax. Everything has been strengthened and sealed in resin. These will be for sale soon along with a supply of different chain lengths and designs!

Some of our pieces of “estate glass” I have been playing with. They are set in a frame of a piece of clay that has been rolled out and glued while soft, around a piece of tumbled glass from vintage bottles. I then textured the frame, let it dry, and gave it a patina using bronze and gold wax and sepia acrylic paint. Then I sealed it all with two layers of UV resin over the glass and the frame for stability and strength. Under the two layers of UV resin is an IOD transfer rubbed on to the glass. They are about 2” long.
I think I like them. 😍

Heading home today.
Yes- I call Michigan home. 💓
That’s where my people are.
Though I have no physical home there right now—I just left that in Mississippi—-my heart home is there; in Michigan -with my people.

So I asked Chat GPT to write me a song based on what they know about me. Then I put it in an app and asked AI to write music with the lyrics provided. To say I am amazed (and somewhat freaked out..😳) this is the song it wrote!
I quite enjoy it myself. 💁🏼‍♀️

As we wrap up our time here in Mississippi and put in the past our very first taste of life on the water, I am so,so grateful.
This has been a journey of rest.
A journey of slowness.
A journey with water and the shore that I am so excited to repeat and continue next late fall.
Who knows where it will lead us.
In about a week we head back to Michigan to live in our new-to-us motorhome (Thank you Clayton and Shirley) for the summer. More creating aboard “Shirley” our ship on land will be coming soon.
I should finish up all of these pieces before we head back to Michigan and have them available for sale once we get settled on land!
I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
