Rejuvenation

For a few days this week, Mr. Ryan & I went camping in the Adirondaks.  Deemed Land of a Thousand Lakes, by the Native Iroquois Indians, and only a couple hours away in the car, it truly is a magical place.  Last year we discovered a beautiful area, down a long dirt, on a branch of the Sacandaga River, with a secluded camping spot under long needle pines.

And this past week we went back to find it again. 

A much needed de-stresser for me. I could feel the calm returning to my

body while resting on the forest floor, tucked in our tent, far away from the computer 

& the buzz of humanity.

We arrived at Mud Lake, just as a storm was about to roll in. 

But it was a much welcomed shower with the heat & high humidity.

Built From a Dream

These rings were conceived in a dream I had, a little more than four years ago. I wrote it down because the image & setting of them were so beautiful, and then when I woke up I knew that I'd need to recreate them one day. Fast forward to a couple months ago; I was approached by a friend who is curating the wall space at an amazing summer theatre in Franklin, NY, to submit a piece for a "Marriage" themed show.

These seemed like a good fit. So I built them finally.

Sterling silver rings that each carry a petite, thin, tapered beeswax candle.

For you & me.
