Working 9-5..The Daily Grind!

Ever wonder what I do during the day? Well, I work the daily grind. I am an executive assistant. I work on a airport for a flight test company. This is my little corner of the company, with my trusty and always necessary Diet Coke by my side. That would be me in the black chair greeting you as you came in the front door of our company.

Our company is in the hot dry California desert. It's always dry, hot and windy, those are our three seasons. Sometimes the winds here on the airport can reach up to 80 mph. Those are the worst of days!

Like today...there is a high wind advisory, we are expecting about 80 mph winds so the freeway home will be closed and there will be a detour that I will have to take that has become very familiar to me.

I am lucky enough to have a window view of the mountains, (home) where I live. There are lots of windmills that are scattered across the mountains and when it is windy they all dance in unison. This is where a lot of my ideas for new pieces of  jewelry are drawn in my sketch book, that is... when I have spare time.

Overall I have a great job but I am still daydreaming about the day that I can stay at home and make Etsy my number one job. That is where my heart is and mind long to be...fingers crossed!

Mixed Media Man In The Moon Necklace!!

I had so much fun making this Man In The Moon Necklace!! Brand New** Just out of the My GreenRoom. This necklace has been on my sketch book for sometime now and haunting me to make it. I LOVE (This) Man In The Moon Face, it has always been my favorite!! I had a few sketches drawn but waited until the time was right and when I sat down to make it, the design emerged. I was definitely in one of my whimsy moods as you can see by the finished product. I always say that life is way to serious, wear a piece of jewelry that puts a smile on your face. I took a few pictures from start to finish,..the cleaned up version anyway. I didn't take pictures of my files, saw, torch, all things used to create this Happy, Starry Eyed, Moon Face but you get the picture. I have a lot of other fun moon inspired ideas that I am anxious to create too! I have created a mixed metal large moon face that I am going to make into  a pendant that I will have to share with you all. It is one that I am keeping for myself though. I have been trying to decide how I would wear it most, a pendant or a bracelet. Not too sure yet.  One of the exciting things for me while creating this necklace was the mixing the metals and media. I wish you all could see it in person, it is even cuter. This necklace is for all of the starry eyed moon lovers like me. I cant wait to meet who buys it! That is one of the most fulfilling things about making jewelry for me and that is..matching the perfect piece of jewelry with the perfect person who adores it.
