gifts

'in every walk with nature
one receives far more than he seeks.'
~ john muir

a cardinal feather - 
many a blue jay, sea gull and more neutrally colored feather have been picked up by myself or the kids... but never one that glowed red... 


inspired by leaves and trees... 
always... 


i bring the gifts inside with me - and place them on my bench... feathers, nests, leaves, acorns...

  6. A cardinal feather - such a rare gift. Love the necklace and the earrings!!! So we are both gatherers - I have little stashes of pods, feathers, pebbles everywhere...

  7. MD - you are safe amongst a community of gatherers - nature gives on so many levels; and your earrings are beautiful in the metal working and the design. Lucky Lisa if they are going to be hers. Go well. B

  8. Your tiny little copper leaves are amazing. My window sill over my work table is full of little things I find. I have cardinals that visit my bird feeder through out the day. It's right outside my studio. These little gifts from the earth are comforting as they are inspiring.

  12. I love fall for the leaf colors and especially the sumac leaves, a few of which I press and save every fall. I have a few years' worth now and they continue to inspire me.
