You know I regularly recommend the jewelry and art of my friend Chris (sihaya09), right? This is because her work is gorgeous, creative, eclectic, balanced, and the product of one of the more focused and imaginative artists I know. She's an amazing person, who strives to develop new skills, new techniques, and excels at pretty much anything she puts her mind to. She's also a funny, intelligent, responsible, and overall awesome person.
She's also the human to a very sick cat. Olive, aka beaners, Olive-bean, and many other names, is only a year and a half old and she is showing some worrisome neurological symptoms. Chris and her husband are trying to get her the medical help she needs, including diagnostic tests, which don't run cheap. There's more information here. I've met Olive and their other cats many times, and you could not ask to have cats more loved and cherished.
Olive is a rescue kitty and Chris and husband have done so much to give her a safe, loving, and healthy environment, but they need help to keep Olive going. Chris is hoping to sell enough pieces to raise the funds for the exams and the treatment.
So if you've looked at her shop before and liked it, go look again. If you've never looked, go look for the first time. She has a lot of beautiful pieces, a great collection of Halloween goodies, Autumn wonders, steampunk, vintage art nouveau inspired, and whimsical faerie jewelry.
Her shop is here. Go buy some lovely jewelry and help a lovely human and her precious cat. There's no downside to this

27 June 2010 18:19I have spent the afternoon putting together an inspiration collage for a back tattoo. I have wanted one forever and it looks different every time I try to envision it. Hopefully this exercise will help to cement the idea in my mind.

22 June 2010 22:22Every time I think about getting another tattoo, I think to myself, "Am I going to want that when I'm older?" Really? Older? I'm 39. How much older do I need to be? Am I going to care that I have a saggy faerie on my back when I'm 60? The 20 year old in me needs to sit down and shut up.

ABOUT THE RENCON PROGRAMMING
As you will see, many of our guests and musicians are represented on a variety of subjects that reflect their passion and expertise. In an experience very different than a traditional RenFaire, guests at Rencon can learn from and be entertained by these acknowledged masters in their fields. In these presentations we will see the impact of history, folklore, literature, art and music on the evolution of the mythic arts today and how they can inform and inspire our own lifestyles.

19 March 2010 14:45Have you seen the awesome?
I have taken to starting every day with a thought my grandpa left me with: Everyday I wake up is a good day.
Good day is baseline. There is no bad day because the only bad day would be one that I didn't get to have in the first place. It's working. Even with all of the awesome in my life, I had lost my happy for a few days. I don't like it when I lose my happy because that means I'm unpleasant to be around. It usually also means that my insecurities get all riled up, which makes me even less pleasant to be around. However, I am now securely back in my happy and smiling.
The chocolate covered cherries may have had something to do with the happy. Though they both arrived on the same day, I can't be certain and I'm not going to speculate further.
Carry on.
