distracted by the sights on the horizon

Sometimes a day's color and tones will set the inspiration for the entire day.

My day started with making a baguette for lunch. A gem of a baguette if I must say so and with the added bonus of a house filled with the comforting aroma of baked bread.

Sitting at my work table, I then become hypnotized by a vintage ironstone bowl filled with old creamy white beads. Becoming distracted is what I do best.

Then there was some digging around to find the right pieces to add to this focal (the bezel of found metals with the tall sails ship) that was made over the weekend. As typically the case, I was then easily mesmerized by a band of feathers and made this piece below.

I think that I am so enthused about the tall sails ship bezel of found objects that I showed above, that I allowed myself such distraction, if that makes any sense. Sometimes a project is so exciting that I can only work on it for short periods of time, kind of like dragging out reading the end of a really good book. 

If I had only thought to take a picture of the tall sail ships that were trying their best to divert my attention from the studio over the weekend, I could have shared more inspiration but instead this was my morning's sunrise.
