Summer By the Shore...AND THE WINNER IS...

Wow, you guys posted some GREAT summer vacation memories. Thanks to all that did. I too am a beach gal, living in South Florida (or as we are calling it these days, THE SURFACE OF THE SUN). I find it very interesting how much water plays a role in our lives and how much we humans crave, desire and REQUIRE it. Nearly everyone posted about how much they love being near the shore, or near a large body of water. As a conservation biologist I also hope that each of us will do our best to ensure that our world's precious water sources remain protected, clean and HEALTHY. I encourage all of you to educate yourself about your cities water supply, and water management policies. Water will be the world's next fought over commodity and we must protect our oceans, rivers, lakes and streams. Remember, as Star Trek taught us, humans are "Ugly bags of mostly water" and water is what keeps us ALIVE.



There, PSA over!

Now, on to the good stuff....I put all your names in a random name generator and clicked the magic button. The winner of the alcohol ink on aluminum cuff bracelet is....

ERIN FISH!!!


Which is kind of interesting when you think about it. So many posts about loving water and spending time in and around water....then Erin FISH is the name the program chose. Huh. COOL!

So, congrats Erin, get in touch with me as soon as you can and I will get your cuff out to you. Thanks again to everyone who posted and took a trip down vacation memory lane. I really enjoyed reading each one!

I also just posted a video tutorial on working with alcohol inks on metals and stone--take a look if you are interested in giving this technique a try. 



Stay cool everybody, and enjoy the rest of your summer. May your pool noodles stay afloat and your drinks stay frosty.

Now, GO MAKE SOMETHING AMAZING!!

We March ON! By Karen McGovern

Hello all! First things first. HOW DO YOU PEOPLE WHO LIVE UP NORTH DEAL WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY??? We got our first major cold snap last night--the temps dipped into the high 50s and I'M LOOSING MY MIND. In Florida terms this is an apocalyptic weather event and I am completely immobilized by this alien effect you call "static". What is this? Why is my hair standing straight up and sticking to everything? I feel like my head is covered by spiderwebs--It's driving me MAD I TELL YOU! As I type this in the darkened dining room (it's 6:00 am) I can see strands of my hair waving around my face in the light of the laptop screen LIKE IT'S ALIVE. Static is gross and I demand that it stop IMMEDIATELY. I WANT MY HUMIDITY BACK!!



There, I feel better (not). 

Second--thank you for all the comments on the bangle post!! I love the direction so many of us want to take into 2016. More inward development and less outward (I'm so fat, I need to look better) fears. I applaud you all, and hope that we move towards a peaceful and fulfilling year. I hope all your goals and dreams come to fruition and I know that if we all can take a few minutes a day for JUST US, we can become the best version of ourselves. Take that class, read a TON of good books, learn as much as you can, make a ton of art and GROW!!!

The lucky gal who will soon be wearing an AWESOME set of copper bangles is....

BROOKE BOCK!!! 



Congrats, Brooke, please get in touch with me so I can send you the set. I hope you wear them every day and enjoy!!!!!

Thanks again, you are all warriors capable of incredible things--NOW GO MAKE SOMETHING AMAZING!
