A Walk on the Dark Side

I've had so much fun creating pendant necklaces for my new jewelry line, Ophelia's After Dark! Here are two new goth girls and my fallen angel necklace. View them here

Your identity is not equivalent to your biography. There is a place in you where you have never been wounded, where there's a seamlessness in you, and where there is a confidence and tranquility.

Combining my love of fragrance with a neo-Victorian aesthetic, For Strange Women offers naturally scented products that not only smell amazing, but are beautifully packaged. The brainchild of the talented Jill McKeever, she has succeeded in creating a line of artisan perfumes for...well...strange women. :) Check out her shop here and her blog here.

Refreshing Creativity

Sooner or later, it hits all of us creative folks...the dreaded slump. During that time, we're either tired and stressed from every day "stuff", or we're just not feeling very inspired. I'm not there right now, but have been in the past (and know I will be again!), so I was wondering...what do you do to refresh your creative spirit? Whether simple of elaborate, I'd like to hear what speaks to your soul and allows you to reawaken that spark of inspiration....thanks for sharing!

Musings...

“I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.”
