pendants

One of the things I have been working on I the last few months is pendants. I hand draw the abstract images and put them in a brass or silver base with a glass piece over the front. These were fun and sort of addicting... I wanted to make more but decided to stop after about 15. I only have a few photographed so far.....



Even though they're abstract, I still think they were inspired by nature....












I had missed my spot...

I returned to the river,

timed with the eagles.



I have a new camera with a good zoom,  but unfortunately I haven't been able to get a good shot of the eagles or the ospreys yet this year with it.... hopefully soon!







(They are available in my etsy shop if anyone is interested.)

    I like the pendants! I like the new Falling Ladies Header painting. I like your haiku offering today. I like the photos you took with your new camera. I like coming to your site on Fridays. I especially like the idea that you see art in nature and it inspires you. And I like you, Andrea. What's not to like?

    Peace

    I love your beautiful pendant designs. I also enjoyed the photos. The one of the cat in front of some boards would make a very nice painting.

    The pendants are beautiful. I like the uniqueness and the "simpleness" of them!

    I read your description of yourself and do really comprehend your feeling that art keeps you sane. I feel the same. Life can be so busy and demanding that it is great to have something to do that can make you forget the world around you and be yourself. That is how I feel about making art.
