Butterflies at my Fingertips

In trying to hurl myself out of this little creative rut o' mine

I did a bad, bad thing.

I went on a serious stone buying binge! 

Parcels came in from all over our great country this week,

delivering into these little hands stones of the most 

fantastical colors,

glorious shapes 

and

so full of inspiration!

I'm like a little girl with a fresh box of Crayola crayons.

Just opened, a scent so distinct and heavenly, you could drown in it.

Getting lost in a sea of color so rich you can't decide which to use first.

The color!

I've become greedy for it- everything has been so grey to these eyes lately.

Now, my world seems back to it's technicolor self.

Thank goodness!

Thank these little bits of portable inspiration too:)

Some of this weeks loot:

2 Laguna Agates and 

an Agua Nueva Nodular Agate 

Indonesian Drusies

Dryhead Agate and Laguna Agate

2 Apple Green Chrysoprase and

a stunning Idaho Prudent Man Plume Agate

 

2 Dendritic Opals 

 Dryhead Agate, Laguna Agate and

Imperial Jasper

I want to bite them. They are that delicious. Seriously!

I feel the tickle beginning-

I'll have butterflies at my fingertips soon enough.

Dancing across the metal, working their magic.

Soon enough, indeed...

xxoo,

Tawny

I Dream in Color

I often have the most amazingly vivid dreams.

Sometimes as surreal as a Dali painting, sometimes quiet and understated.

But ALWAYS in the most incredible palette of colors-

some which I don't think I've ever seen in "real" life...

I chanced upon a stone a while back that blew me away and instantly I thought of my dreaming life. Where it might actually be possible for a butterfly to be born out of stone.

I crafted this lovely with that image in my mind.

Coupled with a quote from the Beatles, it couldn't be more perfect:)
