Summer! The height of summer!
Here in Oregon, we have skirted the heat that is oppressing so many other areas in the United States. I am grateful to not be blanketed with relentless heat every day…but the cool isn’t doing my tomatoes any good. The blueberries have come out, and are fat globes of juicy summer in my garden. Derek and I have eaten all the raspberries on our vine, which is a very small vine. They spread like crazy, so I have it in a pot to keep it from taking over. Maybe it will expand next year anyway, in its pot and we will have more.
Things are very busy in the studio as well. I am sitting here having a coffee but I know that I have a list of fun things to make when I get back home. I sold the necklace in this entry a few days ago, it will go to a new home tomorrow. I need to make a couple more, there were a few sad individuals that weren’t quick enough on the draw. One of them will be using a lot of black glass, which will be fun. I get in my favorite color ruts, and I would like to work with more bright colors with this design. So this will be a good challenge when I sit down at the torch.
A pair of tropical earrings have their beads made, now it is just the silver work. And a commissioned 
personalized sterling necklace, saying “COURAGE.” I love making the personalized jewelry, people have such great stories and reasons to commission the work they do. I feel honored to be a part of the story, even if it is just to capture the moment.
And with that, I am off to the studio shortly.
