Just when did she go from this to this?
I turned my back for a second and my baby's been & gone & grown into a woman. Just how did that happen?

- the art of curiosity
- After producing a brood of a son & two daughters and having decided to turn my back on academe & tax law, once my babes were past the nappy stage, I decided to teach myself the craft of jewellery design. My brood had taught me to be a mother & I’ve always spent as much time I can drawing, making marks & designing, so I reasoned that my brain was possibly still open to new ideas. But WOW! Little did I realise that a whole new environment was there to be explored - the world of Wearable Art & all its satellite moons. So, some five years ago, thus began my pursuit of ‘the art of curiosity…‘ Being creative is an essential part of life for me. I’ve suffered from depression since the age of 16 - indeed I'm a diagnosed bipolar babe - and in my opinion, creative expression is as important in helping my condition as all my meds & any other therapies I have tried. Keeping a creative journal for example, helps me to understand myself & my bipolarity. The act of making marks channels stress into meaning. A sense of humour helps me too - there’s a large seam of irony in my being and Dorothy Parker is Queen!

Aw, amazing how quickly it happens isn't it? Mine were babies only 5 minutes ago & now they're 7?!!
Rachel, sometimes it just spooks me out!
Ellie, Ellie--you are beautiful.
as I recall, on an older computer I had a stuning photo of you dressed in a tutu, with rose petals all around. Does Mum still have that? She took that photo I believe. What I would give to have that photo once again.
love, your Mum's friend,
jean
Happy Bithday xox!!!
Oh my! Ellie has indeed grown up. And what a stunner she is!
Dear Jean & Laura,
Ellie will be thrilled beyond measure to read your beautiful words when she gets home - I thank you from the bottom of my heart :-)
But I shouldn't do her talking for her. I'm sure she'll want to thank you for herself later on.
Jean, I'll see if I can find that photo for you :-)
With much love,
Jennifer xox
Thank you for all your comments. I am very happy now because for the past few days I haven't been having a very good time, but all of your comments have cheered me up. Thanks!
Love
