When I woke up Saturday I had a severe case of vertigo, which is rolling into today. The spinning is not as bad this afternoon but I am unsteady on my feet just the same. (I happened to take this blurry photo, pink ode to vertigo, while loosing my balance!) It feels a bit suspect to have twirled my imagination around the theme of decorative spiraling garlands to now be possessed by VeRt!g@.
Instead of finishing my painting or stamped garland, I decided to brighten this snowy New England day with my Ode to Spring garland. It's a necklace with an accompanying ring. With a surplus of disassembled fake flowers parts in my cache, I will returning to making up-cycled jewelry with them for a Spring 2014 Trail Pixie Studios line.

Vertigo. Such a splendid sounding word. Such a non-splendid world is this vertigo. Your swirling photo is pretty fantastic I think. The idea and presentation of your jewelry is comely. Just beautiful. May the vertigo vanish and may its' purpose right itself. Season's blessings to you Emily! With love, Norma, x
Ode to Spring from upcycled flowers seems very comical on this snowy and slushy day.
And oh, I've had vertigo--I am SO sympathetic! If it continues, look up the Epley Maneuver online. It can really help a persistent case of it.

Hope you're better in between, vertigo sounds horrible to me. Your outlook-for-spring-garland is a beautiful contrast to your unwell feelings and the colours make me happy. Get well soon!
dear Emily,your photo of a snowy outdoors and that pretty spring garland (i like the ring there) is so hope giving and lovely.
the white background of the garland reminds me of snow in late winter with crocuses peeing through.
hope you are feeling better, xx
it is a garland alright, leading us straight into spring, you are cheerful! ;)))
