New Fun for the Holidays

...and so many more pieces once the resin cures...

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Just finished a couple of winter-themed necklaces. Tonight's plan is to resin-cast several new ones, and maybe some ornaments, as I found some old-timey winter/holiday papers to play with and some lovely copper jingle bells. Stay tuned...

Word up

I find words comforting. I like lists. I like typeface. Like to see it wherever I look. Quotes, signage, what have you. Helps me feel like I have some order to my chaos & all.

I recently made this sign for our kitchen dining area--it's nice to reflect on it while having meals or enjoying coffee. I love when I notice the boys reading it--makes me feel like I'm secretly imparting wisdom. :D

This love of words translates into many of my pieces. Definitions: Love.Them. Here's a new one--to remind us of just how blessed we are.

So, what words speak to you?

Those of you who also appreciate words can get 20% off any order from http://www.etsy.com/shop/HandstampedOriginals--Just enter Coupon Code WORDSMITH, now through November 15.
