		<title>Summer Solstice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer Solstice (Litha), is the longest day when the sun’s power is at its peak. The cause of the Summer Solstice – the name of which is derived from the Latin words sol meaning “Sun,” and sistere, meaning “stand still” – is due to the angle of the Earth on its axis. On this day, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faerie and the Wolf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few pieces I completed while up in Maine. Enjoy! I love wolves and couldn’t resist creating a bas relief of a wolf’s head on an Oak leaf. The ornament hangs from&#160; annealed steel formed in the shape of a branch, wire wrapped with sterling silver and accented with superb Moonstone briolettes. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Observer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sitting at my sculpting table last week, I realized I was surrounded by more polymer clay leaves than I had a pile of in my back yard.  After time spent of mixing clay, imprinting leaves, and curing them I had a pretty substantial array…and yet, no motivation to do anything with them.  Uh oh, creative [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woodland Frolic Necklace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring has been a busy time here in the woods.  Much time has been spent outdoors getting the yard ready for summer.  Planting, raking, and just enjoying the birds and my pet chickens keeps me pretty busy. I do hope you are all well and enjoying the &#8220;roller coaster&#8221; weather patterns that Mother Nature has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do You Believe?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t begin to tell you how many times I am asked that question.  As a fantasy artist I live and create in a world of make believe, folk lore, and the everyday magic that is nature. A better asked question might be, &#8220;who wouldn&#8217;t want to believe in times like these?&#8221; Recent weather catastrophes, war, financial crisis&#8217;s, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faerie Slumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d share a new little piece I&#8217;ve been working on.   It&#8217;s a faerie child wrapped in a maple leaf and asleep in an oak leaf cradle.  The faerie is 3&#8243; long and was sculpted using Kato clay with Genesis heat set oils for added color.  I really prefer this clay now for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaf Art ~During~</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A  few days ago I posted some pictures of assorted leaves I&#8217;d done and what they look like before I draw or paint them.  I thought today I&#8217;d show you a progression of how some look so far.  I have so many ideas and things I&#8217;d like to try but for now here are a [...]]]></description>
