Gearing up for the final Holiday Gift-buying

It's been a blessedly busy time making and selling my creations this winter :)
each one i picture being carefully (or quickly, depending on your style) unwrapped
and enjoyed by their new owner

Thank you all so much for supporting my art
for getting a piece for you or someone you love
to enjoy!

Remember, my shop will be open and ready to ship in time
for Christmas if ordered before the 21st!!!
Wishing you a happy buildup to the Holidays!

Cheers,
Lynsey

new in the Etsy shop!

working to the bone the last few months...
i can't say how happy i am
to have found some in between hours
hiding away in the studio and creating.


these pieces breathe new life to my creative spirit
hopefully to people who enjoy my work too


i yearned for something playful and elegant
swinging and swaying
and here they are... the new Droplet earrings!

::: new ::: handmade enamel jewelry

let me know your thoughts...
hope everyone had an excellent holiday!

Remembering Today's Message

i heard today: the ocean
though unvisited years pass
my heart beats in waves

witness to tides rising
fall, crashing
taking
restoring

wondering if i could make
stronger the impact
wishing to touch
life's soul

what if we responded
to love's ripples more often?
reaching changing each other
noticing to carry weary travelers
bringing joy and passion to each other.

today i accepted a challenge:
listen tolerantly.
live passionately.
open my heart to
love more
often.


-hoping we become aware of our own ripples-
Lynsey xo

... unbroken ...

i am grounded in this moment.
reaching out
together

passing suggested boundaries
which beckon us to challenge our conceptions;
our fears
and our hopes


wherein life awaits
tall and elegant
gentle
unbroken

apple-grass gazes punctuate
this atmosphere
opening our lungs, eyes, and sure-steady hearts
to accept these gifted times

[] greener [] pastures []

i completely underestimated the way 3,300 miles would change me
finding myself longing for simpler ways
less bustle more living for the moment
appreciating simpler things
like cast-shadows on the valley below
cows sprinkled on the rolling hills
a hinted smell of lavender
pulsing through the mountain stream below

there is an openness i'm having to create for myself
or recreate, as it were
harder to do amidst the twice-daily commutes on bike and in car
trying to allow more time for art
maintaining a space for my imagination
it holds me loosely enough
to continue exploring but close
enough to keep coming back

lately watercolors
with school, practicum, an assistantship, & life...
watercolors allow a quick, sure way
to make art
fluidity pushes my thoughts effortlessly across paper
allowing enough time to create a small and intimate place
for my thoughts to rest.

how do you make the time?
xo,
Lynsey
