I can't remember how I found your blog, but I'm inspired to stick around by the lovely jewelry and by your change of direction, which is something I'll be facing soon enough.

I've been trying to finesse change and it's not worked. Hoping this current direction is the radical shift that breaks the cycle and the jolt will be long lasting.Kathy Van Kleeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284780722213548172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641979920283745008.post-44846003158377969692012-10-29T10:15:49.900-04:002012-10-29T10:15:49.900-04:00Thank you Sharon and welcome!

I love fiber and it's taken years to find just the right materials and then figure out how I want to use it all. I'm enormously pleased with my current direction and glad others agree.<br /><br />And of course, Fiorentini/Baker totally rocks ... I've only got the one pair, but they're classics for a lifetime.

I find it difficult to get out of my comfort zone, and I admire those who relish trying new things that challenge them. You are taking the initiave to change your course and that is a huge leap. Be proud of every little step you take no matter how small.<br /><br />Your jewelry is just gorgeous!!

For me what is so intriguing, is how you string and knot it all together, stones, patina and cord. Good for you in realizing that you need to change some direction in your life..somehow it eventually finds its path for the moment (nothing seems to remain exactly the same forever)Sharon and things fall into place. Also, I love Fiorentini/Baker too! Sharon<br /><br /><br />artworkbysharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536909642386763980noreply@blogger.com
