I’m playing around with a new bonsai style: with distinctly shaped leaves! This is a ginkgo.

What do you think?

While at work on an order today, I started listening to 'Bittersweet: How Sorrow And Longing Make Us Whole' by Susan Cain. Her book 'Quiet' was such an affirming read for me as an introvert. This one is about sadness; that intense feeling when you listen to a sad song or read or watch a tragic tale. It's about the importance of melancholy in the creative process and how it connects us.

What are you listening to this week?

White Oak Leaf Pendant with Canadian Jade and Tiger Eye stone beads It's officially fall! My personal favourite time of year. The crisp air; leaves crunching under foot; nature getting ready for bed, to sleep through winter

Weeping Willow Bonsai I tried something new last week, in terms of bonsai sculptures: a weeping willow! 

This beauty will be shipping out today to Vancouver Island. 

I'm also experimenting with a new base. What do you think?

I call this one: Brenda's Bonsai

I've been fairly quiet the past few weeks - only because I have been working hard on my first wholesale order for a new Alberta business. Dog and Cat Silhouette Heart Pendants are soon to be off!

Do you have a business and want some small token of appreciation for your customers? I am happy to work with you to come up with a design at a price point that works for you!

Happy 27th to my baby sister (belated, two days ago)! Continuing with the wall décor theme, I had a go at a Raven piece for her! Turned out more like a dove, but I feel you can still see the raven in the beak.

I took some new photos the other day of the Kinetic Humpback Whale Sculpture. It’s nice with the garden green in the background!

If you are local, you should check out Fox and Fable Board Game Cafe, which reopened yesterday at their new location downtown. I have a few of my sculptures up there, including this guy!
