storks, specimens, santa fe, and a sale

 

the among the white storks bracelet,
with a hand-pierced stork,
accompanied by turquoise, peruvian opal, apatite, and iolite beads
 
inspired by ian felice's gorgeous song, her eyes dart 'round:
Her Eyes Dart 'RoundO my love is light as a dove
Her skin is fair and dark is her hair
And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground
And her lips move along to an old country song

Down south you'll find among the high pines
An old liquor store where we danced on the floor
O the light on the wall, it brightens the hall
But the room in the back is quiet and black

What keeps me alive is the green in your eyes
And the sweet distant drone of your voice on the phone
Could I hear, in death, your voice and your breath?
Could I hear them sounds in life underground?

O lightly she walks among the white storks
And craning her neck, she steps from the deck
Could I bow in the sand to your lily white hand?
Can my head gently rest in your lily white breast?

O my love is light as a dove
Her skin is fair and dark is her hair
And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground
And her lips move along to an old country song


and a sweet little heart at your pulse
 
the specimen bracelet #2
with a fine silver wood grain disc, a bezel set moonstone, and silver charm
 

 

hand-knotted garnets, amethyst, and chrysoprase, and wire-wrapped amazonite, garnet, kyanite, and lepidolite complete the bracelet.
 

 

these will be in the etsy shop tomorrow.
 

 

i recently took a beautiful trip to santa fe

 

 

 
i had my tiny co-pilot to help with the drive
 
we went for some lovely hikes
 
and found fields of crystals like this one

 

when i got home, on another hike, i found this little guy, just sitting right in the middle of my path. my neighbor told me that in navajo mythology horned toads are said to be "the biggest, best good luck" and my friend tracy said they represent courage.
 
and, i got a baritone ukulele!
it's really just a mini guitar with four strings. i am in love with it and cannot stop playing. i have not had a new instrument in 12 years.

 

i am doing well. things are good.
i hope you are also well.
xoxo
