Snow, Studio time and Spain

Today we had the prettiest snowfall so far this year. I walked around the ‘backyard’ and took these photos. The beauty of the seasons here is breathtaking.  I feel so blessed to have a distance to look into and to be surrounded by tweeting birds, water and nature, nature, nature. The snow on the twigs and branches right now seems to defy gravity.

Meanwhile, in the studio we are working like busy bees on a new series of copper enamel jewellery for the spring/summer. The colours we are using defy the monochromatic colours outside. We are planning to offer small classes to people who would like to learn to make their own pieces. If this is something you would be interested in, please email!

Larry and I each made one of these. Can you guess who made what? ;-)

Added to the mix  of breathtaking scenery and exciting studio work is that our daughter is leaving (again) in a few days to take an animation job in Spain. We’re very excited for her, but as you can imagine, it is also bitter-sweet. We’ll miss her presence, her ideas and her energy and her love. Still, I can’t wait to hear her stories about the next chapter of her life.

The cats totally know she's leaving.

Practising with the "Riptide Rollers"

Moving to Spain is a huge leap of faith. Maybe even bigger than the leap that Larry and I took when we moved to this sweet village of Bear River.

One thing I know for sure, she’s not afraid of jumping!
