It's been an interesting year that's sped by...ups and downs just like another ride on the roller coaster we call life. Despite some of the belly churning drops, the Gravol to keep the motion sickness away as been the addition of silversmithing in my creative world.
For those of you who have been following the development of the magπ (măg'pī) Project, it has been a fascinating experience being able to combine my disparate skills and produce jewelry in a way I've only dreamed of.
I've been lucky to have a great network of support, which will see the continued development of magπ into 2011. How much it will grow only time will tell, but definitely something I'm looking forward to!
If you're watching for new pieces, I'll be posting on flicker and facebook again in the new year. There are some Christmas presents in this lot, so I didn't want to spoil the surprise before the big day. :)
In the realm of photography, I have quite a few projects in the wings, waiting to be completed and posted, but I'll admit that procrastination has plagued me. I've been distracted by a few personal matters in the last few months, but hope to refocus again in the New Year(a possible NY resolution, but don't hold your breath).
The long term photographic project I have been working on is 1 season away from being complete, so fingers crossed that 2011 will be the year to reveal the finished results.
The positive thing is, despite the lack of posting, I have been more active taking photos than 2009. Ironically, to see 2010 photographs (and even some of 2009), you'll just have to wait until 2011.
Finally, we've come to painting. Unfortunately, my painting and drawing projects are on the backburner for the time being. However, I've been able to pull some of those skills and apply them to silversmithing, so all is not lost. I hope to someday come back to it, but only when I feel I can derive the same sense of satisfaction I did before (or when I finally get studio, whichever comes first).
Anyway time to wrap this up with well wishes, Merry Christmases, Happy Hanukkahs and Happy New Years! I hope every one has a safe and wonderful Happy Holiday!
