David has always wanted to work at a round bench. Recently, a 5 foot diameter table came into his possession. Here is a view of the current necklace research on the round bench. Musical chairs has never been such good fun!
How curious – a round work bench, round brooches and around the world of art thinking & making! Dizziness, stay away!!
Waking from the delicious dream, out of breath and joyous – it would seem the dream time was almost better than the alternative. Whether awake or dreaming the emotional content of living brings us closer to the raw real. How can we be so fortunate to live within both worlds, in the light of day and dark of dream time?

In the never ending linking (not the missing link, but the connecting link(s) that visually and functionally work “solution journey,” the options that don’t work far outpace those few that do. The “seeked for solutions” seem close, yet still distant… Patience and time, their own reward.

If the “Three” were well adhered to life’s slings and arrows and the Ovav could intercede, would the pain be less or simply tolerable. As we each navigate the neck-go-rounds each day, one finds a certain degree of adaption to and tolerance to that which hurts deeply. Glancing out the window onto the newly fallen, wind driven snow drifts, Kick remembered a time, well past, when the Naneki brought brightness and striped attire visions. A very warm, sun inspired day near the still water. Was it all but a dream?

One can only take a guess as to what might happen next? In the flux ‘n flow of life, my one and only love can only be clearly seen, as if in a dream. Dreams and screams, day by day, love moves in mysterious ways and shimmies as in ragtime. Where is Kid Twist when we need her or him? Keep a eye out for a good nose signal…
