Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (and Happy Birthday to my dear father in Budapest!) It is a beautiful warm Autumn day today, perfect in every respect. There is the traditional turkey dinner to look forward to later on, after a walk in the woods with my children and dogs...how much better can life be? Time spent on doing things one cares about brings a profound sense of peace.
I was out in the garden trying to find a way to photograph these delicate faceted Peridot earrings that I had made recently. I was enjoying the dying details of the garden, the last of summer's warmth. There are a few remaining flowers that have braved the frost, the warm earth still teeming with life, reddening leaves and ..some old seashells I had discarded near the pond! Seashells from a long ago trip to the ocean...memories of a carefree summer from years ago. The seashells are now aged and brittle, the patina of weather and time has added to their character. Why had I not noticed them before? There was a feeling of synergy when I placed the earrings I had made, with something special from nature that I had found long ago and forgotten. I connected with why I make what I do.
A day for thanks-giving.
