My Heart with Wings

I made this heart and the wings about 6 months ago.  I have been going through my old jewelry journals in which I sketch all my designs and ideas and notes that come to mind.  Sometimes I color render the sketches and sometimes the thoughts are just scribbles and doodles.  I have a small chest of drawers in my studio that my husband James made for me 2 years ago at Christmas. I use it for all those half finished projects that are ready to be finished when their time comes.  I still haven't finished this piece.  I am trying to decide whether to bead it or just add some thick sterling chain.  I am leaning towards the chain.      

Creative Insomnia

I awoke this morning at 4:02 am and instantly began thinking creatively.   I couldn't go back to sleep but the ideas were flowing like molasses in the summertime.   After about 40 min of my mind just racing with ideas I heard this faint tinny sound like a car radio off in the distance.  I listened more carefully and the sound increased.  I laughed when I realized that it was a song bird. The following picture is the realization of one of the idea's that were coursing through my brain.
