ReplyDeleteThink about Kahlil Gibran and his quote on parents ( bows) sending their children (arrows ) into the world. But these are your creative "children" and a perfect vision from the second chakra. Stand tall and aim high !xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - on both counts! So many gorgeous pieces and they look so delicious all together - and being published in this book! You can be proud of your achievements. And this is just the beginning...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight to behold! Great to see all your pieces together in such gorgeous rich colours. Congratulations Mary Jane!
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are gorgeous! I'm absolutely smitten with the little flowers. I could see a necklace made of tons of those. :)
ReplyDeleteI find that color has a cyclical role in my work-- I find an urgent need for it in the depths of winter (and there's a lot of depth in a Vermont winter!) but summer's approach and the arrival of the solstice requires a brighter and livlier palette. You have certainly delivered on that! Very satisfying to produce such a huge body of work and color-- well done!
ReplyDeleteOoooohhhh. . .all those new pieces are just yummy as all get-out! I can't wait to hear more about it. And congrats on the book!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Mary Jane! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see the book. I am sure it is going to be just fabulous! Also excited to hear about where these pieces went to and why! :) As always- thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why can't those be heading to me? :-) And I'm so proud of your book accomplishment. I have it and love it!
