*shooosh shooosh* dusting off the shelves

yes, it's been a while

since i've been settled enough to really pour myself in to my work

hear this:

NEW in shop today

Whispers from the Waves earrings

i love where my work has taken me throughout the years

ever more so, i'm able to follow my own intuitions

to new frontiers

and golly, i owe so much

to everyone who has supported my work along the way

(so much!)

heading into the fall, my wish is to push forward

continue exploring in metal and glass

i'll try to invite you into the studio more often

and hope you'll stop by

flores del mar - flowers from the sea

with this semester's lighter course-load (+ 3 snow days)

i'm able to devote time to exploring more in the studio.

i'm trying to give my unconsciousness voice

approaching the materials without a plan

responding instinctively to the metal, glass, and tools

an echo returned from my childhood

despite being a Midwestern girl now

my roots are connected to coastal life

New England and Florida are great pieces of my childhood

combing sand and surf,

when tides crept back to sea,

i'd investigate their forgotten pools

what wonder existed !

curious creatures, shapes, colors, and textures.

these joyful excursions have matured into my present work

they have been marinating for a few years

i let go

allowing the spontaneous

and less conscious parts of myself work

flores del mar - flowers from the sea

(thank you, Mari! she gave this piece a most fitting name)

i feel reminded of magic

kindled in spirit

overjoyed that my unconscious brought to existence such a pleasant piece

made by me... of copper, enamel, and oxidized silver

what childhood memories would find your work?

xx,

Lynsey
