Day 16,362: Return to the Workshop

It's felt really good to get back here to my workbench ...
To wire-wrap an Angelite ...
At this angel's request.

I always forget how this is therapy for me. I always wonder why I stay away so long and why it takes so much effort to get back to it. I have to turn a thousand preparatory circles like a dog before a fire. The stones and crystals ceaselessly beckon me to sit down with them, to breathe, to hold the space for whatever wants to be born in the moment. In their own way, they show me how to adorn them. The wire melts like butter in my hands. My creations are so very good to and for me before I send them out into the world to uplift and inspire. I want to get back to making this craft a regular practice again. Yesterday was an excellent start.

I can really relate to this. I go into my studio and deep down want to create some mixed media, but I don't- not sure why- tidy up here, organize there- fear of getting started and not finishing, so I don't want to begin at all. Crazy right?! this is a beautiful piece!
