I love this photograph of your skrimshaw brooch …
I blogged it (and a whole lot of your images) on my friend Andrea’s new Tumblr : “she found sea stars in her eyes…”

Sorry to hear that you were sick, Sarah. I’m glad you’re back on your feet, looking and finding inspiration again. I think you and I are on the same page these days – which makes me quite happy, btw. I gave my sister a scrimshaw brooche I found in a vintage shop not too long ago. I was so tempted to keep it! It also has a ship on it plus a whale. And I’m also fascinated with the thought of ships, early immigration to Canada/America from elsewhere, songs of leaving one’s country and living in a new land, and family trees. I can’t wait til the weather warms up so I can start painting with encaustics again, all with those ideas in mind.

Your black velvet jacket with the embroidery and the embroidered purse are beautiful! You really know where to shop for the good stuff!

Being sick is the worst! So glad to hear that you’re recovering. I too am eagerly awaiting Spring and I can’t wait to jump in the garden and plant some flowers or have picnics on the beach once again.

*Love* you jacket! Do take care!

Im so sorry to hear you’ve been sick! Glad you hear you’re feeling better. Spring just keeps getting closer! I too have been obsessed with the sea and big masted ships…I think it stems from being so very land-locked. I just finished a painting today called The Sea Captain’s Wife. We must be on the same wave-length….

so pretty… you have a great eye for old things!
and that ship-brooch is amazing… i’ve been thinking a lot about ancestor-ships too, lately…

Dear Sarah, I am SO sorry to hear that you’ve been so ill!!! I hope that you are well on the way to recovery now. I’ve missed your posts. Thank you so very much for your kind thoughts on my sweet kitty; it was greatly appreciated.
I love scrimshaw jewelry. You don’t really find that much of it any more. There’s something so delicate and beautiful about it. And I SO wish I could embroider. I can do very simple things, but nothing quite so gorgeous as on your jacket and clutch.
Here’s to your health this year, Sarah~and a beautiful year of creativity!!!
Best wishes, Theresa
