Crafting and creativity come in spurts for me. I have tons of beads and shells and things I have collected to use to "make things". With Pablo painting, me trying to discipline myself certain hours to write as well as relax, and now the holiday season upon us, I decided to break out all my stuff and see what I could come up with.
On our trip to Honduras last year we found this little clay maker in La Calma, Honduras. Last year during a creative spurt a couple friends and I painted most of the beads and I made bracelets and keychains using macrame. This week I sat down to try to replicate one of the wind chimes that Mercedes, the clay kilner, had hanging in her little hut. This is the result.

The other project I took on was making a mobile. I used to love to make these mobiles but it has now been years since I have attempted it. This one below is made from black coral pieces holding sea urchin skeletons and decorated with some painted clay beads from Honduras. It has a good movement and is hard to show in a photo. I was hoping to make more of these, but not very many urchin skeletons made it home from Panamá.
