Sunday evening, I've had a quiet weekend. It has been cold, snow is on the local mountain top. My tender plants are covered with blankets and towels to protect against the frost. Although the day was sunny and bright. Moving quickly I went for a walk, enjoying the bright pink and blue of magnolias and sky. The colors are so bright it hurts to look for long. Blue, the color of my next project. I went to a gem show yesterday and felt a little out of my element. I do not know anything about gems, cuts, rocks or what is precious or not. I just know what I like. Intimidated but not enough to stop me from buying a few things-I just bought things I liked. It doesn't take long to spend money and the bags are SO little! But now I have stones to work with and I am happy.
Love your gems! You are right - when buying gems, the budget is met quickly. I can't wait to see what you create with these.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bloom and those stones/gems are so lovely! I can't wait to see how you use them. I think I would have picked out the same ones. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo of the magnolia. Magnificent!! And I felt the same as you did when I went to a gem show once - there was so much to choose from and at the end the bag I brought home was so tiny - but then it gave me hours of joy to make something with it all... Glad you are doing well!! Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteYour photography beautifully reveal the moments in both the natural and the man made world. I am looking forward to your next project!
ReplyDeleteOh i'd love to attend a gem show. And at least you don't have to worry about lugging around heavy packages!
