This is really a continuation on yesterday’s thoughts  about process and journey, about energy and being a conduit instead of having a plan and following it through no matter what grace is nipping at your heels saying, “Lookie!  Lookie here! This is SO much better than your original plan!”

Here is where serendipity begins: when you can’t find what you thought you were looking for.

I had in mind buying clear spray with sparkles for my white porcelain angels.  I went to my local hardware expecting to find it.  They didn’t have it.  But what they did have was glow-in-the-dark paint.  Who even knew there was such a thing?  I surely didn’t.

Back home I still wanted some sparkle so I raided my eye makeup for the decades old pot of eye sparkles and used that.  Never say an artist isn’t inventive. 

In addition to the porcelain angels, I’m offering glazed starfish, angels, goddesses, hearts and my best seller, seanettles! (these are 2.5″ – 3″.  The goddesses run 4″ and the sea nettles from 7 – 9″ for the small ones, which I developed lst year.)

All are ready for installation at Annmarie Sculpture Garden holiday ornament show this weekend (the show goes through the end of December).

Today’s adventure will be in electrocasting, and I’m off to artgalpal Sue Page’s house for lunch and a play date.  She electroplates her lampwork beads.

  Apparently the same process works for leaves and acorns and other natural findings which is what I want to learn (as a way to expand what I’m using for my jewelry and make it even more unique).  I’ll report on that tomorrow, so stay tuned!

We need to take back the dark goddesses in all their powerful imperfection.  We need to acknowledge that for something to be born, something must die – and be ready to kill it.  We need to wrap light and dark together and let them dance.  Tammy Vitale
