i think the word for this one would be..sweet

this animation..

the music..

the words..

her voice..

it all just tickles me inside

a little bit 1930s

a little more 1940s

some 1960s

and slightly edgily modernish too

..a nice combination i'd say

hope you're having a happy week.

filling a space..

***

back in college..

(a few years back..)

my focus was sculpture.

if you know my jewelry work now,

you might be surprised to find out that my sculptures

were on a very (very) large scale.

...huge welded free-standing pieces, taller than me...

that eventually grew into installations that filled rooms and outdoor spaces.

i was young (ish) and dumb (ish)

and took very few photos of my work.

(just enough to get into grad school..)

and so of course i don't have many to show now.

(but i'll dig some up to show you in the future...promise...)

when i saw this video on my sweet friend mrs. french's inspiring blog last week,

my heart swelled and felt a rush of happy familiarity

(and the urge to create installations again..)

the music is beautiful

lisa hannigan has a great voice

the musicians are so sweet to watch

(check out the red ukulele! i am so going to learn someday..)

and of course,

seeing them all work together is so wonderful.

(that's another neat thing i miss...working with other people)

the room they create is gorgeous too..

oh,

just watch and you'll see..

have a gorgeous monday

full of inspiration!

xox

ps. i'll see you friday instead of wednesday because i'll be in nyc for a few days

taking photos, visiting museums, stuffing my face with great food

and best of all,

visiting my sweet friend christina.
