Silent Teacher

The silence that lingers in one's mind can cause some of the deepest feuds that we carry with us, it can also be the greatest teacher and looking glass into who we truly are.

One of the best things, in my opinion, is silence and to focus on the myriad of synapses firing. To take away all worry and confusion that life throws our way and to sit back with the burn of your eyelids -due to lack of sleep- the churning of your stomach -due to confusion and anxiety- and listen...internally to what your mind has to say!

Take comfort in your thoughts, even when others think you are crazy and your logic a bit twisted...that could be a hidden complement, who really wants stoic thoughts that are often broadcast loudly...take the odd bits and relish them, embrace your uniqueness, and enjoy the thought of who you are, even when you feel so lost and void of connection.

I write this to everyone who may be forgetting the reason we must also celebrate our truest selves, don't forget the beautiful gift you are this holiday season and let your uniqueness shine...

to me that is the holiday spirit...letting ourselves out, and letting others embrace who we are...even if it is just your cat...

Happy Holidays!

Feastless Flatware Bowl

I had such a joy creating this welded bowl of recycled and vintages silverware. The only flatware used is spoons and forks for this little 6" bowl with a 8.5" opening.

I have listed this on my ETSY store site and each one is custom made at the time of order.

The joy of mixing the hard and soft of fire and metal was exhilarating. I also made a Charlie Brown style Christmas Tree and will get that on here and ETSY shortly. I just need to create a latch system to ship the tree and storage brake down.

This bowl works in almost any home and if you would like I can make a medium sized bowl and a larger one. They are truly functional art!
