A Black Mountain Morning

My lovely bosses, Elijah and Rhonda, invited Hugh and I to a picnic on the river near Black Mountain, NC. So sunny and relaxing and picturesque!
It's a shame the water looks so brown! It was actually crystal clear, and the bottom of the lazy river bed was mica sand, so it was actually really sparkly!

These butterflies were congregating in thick patches. Great opportunity to practice with the ol' macro lens on my new camera.


This trip was the bees knees, yall. Happy Father's Day!

New Job!

I no longer work at a flower shop. I miss my old boss and playing with blooms quite a bit, and hopefully I'll get a chance to explore the industry with more depth in the future, but I got a really great offer that I just couldn't pass up!

I work for Figs & Ginger now! Check out this video about Rhonda and Elija, the husband and wife team that own this jewelry company:

As their studio manager I help them assemble jewelry, process orders, answer inquiries, and whatever else they need me to do. They're very flexible, so I still have plenty of time to make my own work, as well. This feels like a perfect fit for me, and I am as comfortable and happy as I've yet felt in North Carolina. Now that all the tumult of transition is over, I can hopefully get back to making work and posting progress.
