215/365 bodybuilders

This ring was inspired by a dream that Carrie Nunes had last night. Carrie wrote to me, "Shannon had a beach house and we were visiting. Ruby was there. We were out on the beach and you took off your cover up. You were in a bikini with muscles everywhere! Just like a body builder but without the scary spray tan. I was very impressed. :) My brain is silly."


Pictured from left to right are Carrie, Shannon, and myself. I think we look great, I just wish Shannon would stop playing with her belly button ring, it's so irritating.

213/365 pablo

I made this ring in memory of Pablo, my feline friend for the past fifteen years. When I adopted Pablo I was 26, and we have lived in 5 different homes and 4 cities since then. He was with me for the end of my twenties, through my thirties, and into my early forties.

Earlier this week I drove him to the vet and helped him to sleep for the last time. Digging in the hard Memphis clay was exhausting and so sad and took forever, but I'll miss this blister from the shovel when it's gone.

It's such a difficult thing we must do for our animals, it's only bearable because we know it's right.
