↠ the many lives of cervid antlers ↞


most of you know:
I collect antlers.

from deer and elk.

I find them wandering.
friends give them to me.

sometimes
they are roadkill 
or mountain lion kill.

every time I find one, 
 I am moved to make something to honor the life it had 
before I happened upon it's loveliness.

Once again, 
I honor you elk
I honor you deer.
Thank You










also a few pieces
from my beloved pipestone and local turquoise

wild solo

~ 48 hours!

~ when you have children (and especially when they are homeschooled) having 48 hours to simply roam the mountains alone is pretty rare.

~ well, it happened and I'm a tired and refreshed woman.

~ fell asleep to the sound of wild turkeys; woke to woodpeckers.

~ found bones and antlers and BIG PEACE!

p.s. this is one of my first posts from my phone; please forgive if it is messy. I'll clean it up when I get a minute.

Too Much Goodness (never)

sometimes when I wait too long to post and a lot is going on, I become so overwhelmed with it all
 that I can't even start.  Just too much goodness! 
so I will start with this:  
I was featured over HERE today; this lady has a great space and has featured some really excellent artists.


I am still getting used to my new (old) schedule having my daughter out of school.  I am leaping in joy that she chose to "unschool" again.  However, it takes a little time readjusting the schedule and routine I finally got into after she decided to GO to school two years ago.  I am making less art to sell but making a more artful  life by nourishing her in hear learning and nurturing her growth into a young woman.
She amazes me everyday!  (she decided she wanted to learn French, so just started teaching herself and said after French she will learn Russian.) 
Go Kiva! 

I'll get into the swing of things, balance all of our needs and still get out roaming the mountains.

speaking of....
I found this lovely treasure while on the side of Maverick mnt. (juvenile javelina)
    ↓

Also found a young buck killed by a mountain lion

And made these beauties (with local turquoise) to honor his remains 

Went rock climbing with my family here

And updated the SHOP with some new lovlies like this one

I hope you all are able to enjoy this amazing spring weather.  get out and move that body, breathe the fresh air and be grateful everyday for something.

forest peace

lots of pictures of my week.  

many changes around here, including the stomach flu (not me) and my lovely daughter choosing to home school again after 2 1/2 years in school. ☆ (for the whole article on our home schooling style, SEE HERE.) ☆  She learned at home (out at the creek and mesa cabin) until she was in the 5th grade, then decided to try school.  but after two and a half years, she missed the freedom of our lives together (not to mention a disrespectful teacher.)
I love having her accompany me on my adventures.


Kona the great having a walk with me.

running with coyote


I have had some sweet warm hikes in the forest.
60 degree days, Arizona sun and a loyal coyote to hike with.


Moki is a great running and hiking companion.  he was born and raised far from the busy-ness of town.    he is a true wild child and an excellent protector of the children.  


the wood stove that heats our entire little cabin (600 square feet.)


↟ the new honor the elk earrings with turquoise ↟





↟ as requested, I have added a smaller sized pendant to the shop ↟
