I am a strong believer in the beauty of everyday life. For me, art is the little things that make you stop and think and take life a little beyond the ordinary.
This is a blog to record art: made, photographed, exhibited, found on the side of the road, etc. I hope to share the world as I see it, and eventually to accept submissions from readers. I want to know, what do you think is beautiful? If we get a community sharing the unique things we all notice and appreciate--something others might overlook--who knows the possibilities! I hope we will be able to walk outside and see the world in a new light, question something we've never thought about, and see beauty where before there was none.
This blog is also a platform to promote my new Etsy site, bricandbrac.etsy.com. After 10+ years of making jewelry for family, friends, and myself, I have decided to take a chance and bring my crafting to the internet. Jewelry is wearable art, after all, and I love the challenge of taking unique materials and making something functional and beautiful out of them.
Art is not a single, untouchable entity. It is interwoven with life. It is the utilitarian and the decorative, what we see and what we create, and the bric and brac in between.
(Also, if all of this seems dreamily idealistic, that's because it's midnight in late summer, and that's just the kind of mood I'm in.)
