Happy Thanksgiving

-

I wish I would have had my camera downstairs this morning. When I looked out the kitchen window, I saw this amazing sunrise. By the time I got the camera out, it was already fading as the sun started to shine. The colors were so brilliant. It was another beautiful painting by God.

I'm hoping that this note finds all my friends and extended family in good health and spirit. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It is always so special to have family and friends close at hand this time of the year. We were especially happy to have the extended family home from Iraq this holiday. To all my friends and family here and abroad, I am thankful for your love and support.

Skull Appreciation Day, June 4 th , 2011 This Saturday, June 4 th is a celebration of cranial proportions that not that many people really know about. It is "Skull Appreciation Day". According to Wikipedia , Skull Appreciation Day is a result of an artist by the name of Noah Scalin who created an artistic skull a day for a year back in 2007. The website has dubbed June 4 th as the official International Skull-A-Day celebration. http://skulladay.blogspot.com The website http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com is hosting a blog hop in recognition of the day! So to all my fellow cranial admirers, be sure to show your appreciation for that wonderful thing that rests upon the top of your body. This is my first blog hop so hopefully by the time it is done, I will have learned how to post the links to the next site to visit! Skull jewelry is a custom order. Please inquire at linjmarino@gmail.com if interested. Terra Tori Alison Kelli Jane Alex Judi Kathi Steph Lisa Feddie Heather Kapr

The World Traveler

This is a custom piece of jewelry I made for a wonderful woman named Beverly. She fell in love with my "Dream" bracelet and wanted a version for herself with some of the same components. She brought me some beads and charms that meant a lot to her from her travels around the world that she wanted included in the bracelet. They truly dictated the theme and color for the bracelet. I know the beautiful brass color and cinnabar and ruby colored stones will look especially beautiful on her. When you look at this bracelet pay close attention to the face beads. They are glass beads with faces hand painted on the inside of them. There are Swarovski crystals all over the bracelet. A woman cannot have enough "bling".I am adding three photo charms to the bracelet but I never like to put someone else's photograph on my blog without asking. I hope you enjoy viewing "The World Traveler". Thank you for viewing this masterpiece.

This past summer I had the distinct honor to take a class with Kelly Hoernig. We used colored pencils and created great works of art. The one project was called "Shades of Green". I'm happy with how it turned out. I plan to enter it in the local county fair this year. It measures 16" x 20"
