Bottle up the charm.

Finished some bottles yesterday.  Not sure where these will go.  If I were very entrepreneurial I would make a cold call at a gallery/gift shop and see if they are interested.  I love making these.  What to put in the bottle, what drawer pull to cap it off?  How much bling to add?  Are words needed to convey the feeling I want to share?  The ones where I let the flow handle the decisions are easier than the ones that I worry about selling.  None of them have sold out of the arts school gallery so that may not be the place for them. 

Hopefully this jar will help with the key to fulfilling wishes that we keep bottled up.  

This one urges us to have a change of air and fly.  It has feathers inside and a small vintage bird charm attached to the neck.  This sentiment is needed by most of us.

Yes, that is a blue jay feather from my back yard.  It is beautiful.  This is very simple in design.  Nothing to distract from the gorgeousness of nature. The silver heart says it all. Love, love, love.

Had some insights last night while I pondered sleeping.  Hopefully will be able to melt wax and collage some images today.  Need to really construct a body of cohesive work.  The gallery has offered me a reception in March or April.  It is very exciting but scary.  I hope the weather is nice and I want to go out to the studio/workspace and work, work, work.
