Trapper's Swamp House Texture Painting

Trapper John's Swamp House
 started a while ago, but just completed.
I once canoed past a dilapidated house on the Loxahatchee River and
this swamp house series was the result of it. 
I didn't bring my (expensive) camera just in case and
 it was fortunate because we ended up rolling the canoe, but
not on purpose, (on my part anyway. The bottom is gooey fish poop, GROSS!).
Anyway, I can't even remember what the place looked like, so 
this is purely from memory or imagination, but
the feeling of living on the river as I percieved it is there  :)
This is an 8x10 and one of the few where texture is pronounced.
On canvas panel, fits into an open back frame and 
is on auction HERE!

Statement Necklace in garnet by Andrew Thornton

Just received this in the mail today! 

This necklace designed and constructed by Andrew Thornton http://andrewthornton.bigcartel.com/products  

and let me tell you it is FABULOUS! He used one of my focal beads for the drop and six strands of linked beads, (3 on each side) and he used a hand crafted toggle for the closure...so easy to wear!

The wire wrapping alone took hours of work!

 (each individual bead is linked/wrapped w/ gold wire) Here's Andrew's description,

The necklace is composed of Swarovski crystals, faceted freshwater pearls, borosilicate lampwork beads, semi-precious stones, a shibuichi toggle from Saki Silver, and of course, a polymer focal by you!
