that's.just.grape!

I have been really trying to get new stuff made by the end of the month.  I have some journals ready, and I've shifted my focus to my new jewelry line.  I'm mostly working 'organically' and letting the shapes tell me what to do.  Of course, like with most of my work, it's all pretty much based on nature, anyway, so I can't help but go a little free-style.
I made this adorable pair of grapes (they will be earrings in their future):

It amazes me how quickly time shoots by when there is a deadline in play.  Hubby is headed to NYC at the end of the month and I'm using his energy to try to push myself every day after work.  I'm pretty exhausted, but excited about my new work.  As much as I liked my handmade paper bowls (3-D art, as I like to think of it), it's just not as appealing to others, I guess.  And that's fine, because making paper jewelry is giving me a new opportunity to continue to work with paper (which I love) and make something that other people might truly also enjoy.
We will see.
I'm also hoping to have a give-away to coincide with my shop re-launch...stay tuned for that!
