artist playtime: allowing for time to make non-functional work

we artists need to make things that are our own. from time to time.

i am always enthused to see my work journey around the country and globe -
to be enjoyed by the caring hands (ears & necks) of others.
little pieces of me going where i never dreamed of.

but sometimes... i need to PLAY
lose the deliberateness and thought that goes into making something for someone else to enjoy


these are what have popped up over the last 2 years in my sacred
"play time"

they remind me of things i've collected while combing the beach,
hiking on trails, or happened upon in gardens.
nothing really in particular.
not functional.
just created for the pure enjoyment
of their shape, color, and texture.


do you ever create things without "purpose?"
just for the pure enjoyment.

Queen Anne's Lace : ode to the fields of summer

one of the many things i enjoy about etsy is the option of creating

a tribute of sorts

to the lovely items and artists

a "Treasury"

inspired by last weekend at "the farm"

and the oceans of Queen Anne's Lace...

i created this collection:

now, i haven't created a treasury in a while...

but i have hopes this little beauty

may make it to the front pages

to be enjoyed by many!

hope you're staying cool!

xo,

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!
