A Privilege

And so it goes for all of us: The calendar keeps moving forward, regardless of the events and battles that go on in every ones life. We can only withdraw for a time, trying to figure out how we are going to deal with things. Then we have to step back into the light, out of the dark corner we found comfort in. And figure out how to deal with life and all the events that make  life unique for each one of us, friends and family alike.

Today the world lost a beautiful Spirit. After a short, devastating illness she slipped away. Her friends and family will feel her loss for a long time, cherishing Memories of a remarkable woman.

People were drawn to her soft spoken demeanor, her easy smile,  but so were Animals. She seemed to truly understand them and gave them a voice in her paintings. Godspeed to you my friend, it was a privilege to know you.

Sometimes just a simple touch will be enough. The small Bevels sparkle and catch the Sun while the Vine adds Tranquility.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sometimes…..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA                                                                                                      Sometimes life throws a curve and other things just have to wait. Being absent from a new Blog (and other things) was a reaction to one of those Events.

Todays image is from a german Fairytale by the Brothers Grimm, it’s the “Sterntaler” or Stardollar girl. A little girl who gives up everything and is richly rewarded in the end. It always brings a smile to my face, hope it makes you smile too.

A lot of pieces go into making a panel for a window. These pieces are in the rough cut stage. The next step is the glass grinder where every piece will be ground back to the black line. Traced on the glass earlier, the grinding will assure a perfect fit to all the pieces.
