this isn’t my garden, but i am lucky enough to have this view from my studio window. a distraction indeed! the tulip and daffodil garden on the property is in full bloom and today they beckoned me away from my bench and into the great sunshine. thank you, flowers!

my muses for the growth/decay challenge:

it’s already wednesday, and i’m still not certain what i will make for the challenge. i do know that my piece(s) of jewelry will be in the form of rings. somehow this seems appropriate for the challenge. . . more on that later. using these photos as inspiration, i’m going back to the drawing board!
