Writing out loud on the blog; unsure who will read these words, when they will read them and struggling that this is not vanity and ego presenting itself on the page.
That said, I spent a long time writing my daily pages when I did "The Artist's Way" (Julia Cameron)with my friend Virginia and three other women whose names escape me 13 years later. With much diligent yearning and scribbling I wrote my way out of the chaos of my mother going into a health decline that eventually led to her being moved into a nursing home 65 miles from where I lived. I wrote about the throes of a divorce that has lessened in pain (12 years later) but was truly a sad, tawdry and horrendous upheaval of my life.
Combine this with incremental progress and steadfast loyalty to becoming a sober woman in AA and seeing all of my life previously as a perilous lie and not knowing any of the outcomes as I moved forward into the uncharted waters of sobriety
Fast forward to my 16th anniversary, March 1, 2009 living in Lake County, Libertyville and working daily and making my art as best I can. I want to end this on a high note; with a current snapshot adding a few pix of the work I have recently done
I have added 4 images: 1. The Fisayo, red on red Nbele herringbone sides with strung links in matching beads at the front for a necklace. 2. ivory, peach and amber beaded bracelet, 3. better shot of same bracelet 4. Shannon's wedding bracelet in pearl, forest green, Swarovski crystals and bright & satin finished gold beads modeled on a crytal river pattern. All were created using off loom beading techniques
