The gentle breeze had it raining golden nuggets
so I quickly grabbed my camera, for tomorrow
the tree might be bare...
Such warmth at the end of season
yet I was reminded of another reason
that each time in our lives is precious-
even delicious!
But what of that final day when
life is taken away?
I find beauty even there awaits
as a life might be swept down the stream...
memories of loved ones sweet as ice cream
remain...
And some...
Even more brilliant
than pieces of eight.

We used to sit for hours, her and I, sorting through bins of bits and pieces that we had collected over the years. Trying to pick just the right bead or dinker to add to our latest piece. Something that matched, but also excited you, surprised you that they worked together so well.
Since then, over the past few years, I've collected pieces. I've filled my pockets with lessons and memories. Physical, yes, but spiritual as well. I edit myself and my life just like I do these necklaces. Finding what works for me, who I want to be, and where I want to go. I am always evolving and changing. Exploring new avenues and ideas until the puzzle comes together and seems to make sense, even if just for a moment.
I'm not sure what made me leave behind this clustery charm style I loved so much. Maybe I thought I knew better. Perhaps I thought my new found metals skills topped a more immature artistic style. Much like a teenager that knows everything about life, but has yet to really experience any of it.
But it's all come full circle. I'm back now, in my own skin, feeling as "me" as ever. I'm shining a new, more seasoned, light on these babes, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Bit and pieces, collected, skills honed, years and years of work all bundled up in a special piece. Don't worry I made a bunch, and they are each as unique as you!
Like it? Would send me some bitcoin as a tip?

I'm here again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way

Incidentally the (masterful) 'de-tuning' of the strings is a Banjo technique..
Those are Banjo tuning pegs fitted to Adrians Guitar...

Deboxing LE Belle. The doll is removed from the primary and secondary cardboard backings, which are put back together, by taping the tabs of the secondary backing to the back of the primary backing. She is still attached to various plastic support pieces and the display stand. We remove her from the doll stand by raising her skirt and untying the wires around her legs and the stand. Here are closeup views of her golden shoes.
Detailed photos of my Limited Edition Belle 17 Inch Doll, from the Live Action Beauty and the Beast movie. I got her today in store on release day, Friday March 17, 2017, which is also the opening day of the movie. She is #0477 of 5500.
The doll is a great improvement over the 12 inch Disney Film Collection doll, although her face and outfit are basically the same design. The big difference is that her hair is rooted on a one piece vinyl head, as opposed to the two piece head of the 12 inch doll, where the hair was on a separate piece, and the face was much harder than the scalp. Her face also has a matte finish, as opposed to the shiny face of the 12 inch, and her freckles are not as prominent. Her expression is also gentler, with a slight smile. She is side glancing as opposed to looking straight ahead, and she has short rooted lashes, all of which makes for a more pleasant face. She is actually quite pretty, more so from certain angles.
Her outfit has the same design as the 12 inch doll. Her bodice is separate from her skirt, and in many of the dolls that I've seen, there is a unsightly gap between bodice and the skirt (e.g. in the stock box image). Her skirt is very full, and looks squished in the box. Her skirt has yellow jewels and gold embroidery instead of the glitter on the 12 inch doll. In fact, the LE doll has no glitter at all. She has a necklace with the pendant tacked to the neckline of the bodice, and a ear cuff type earring on her left ear (to our right). On the 12 inch doll the ear cuff was painted on, on the LE doll, it is a separate piece. She also has a painted on ring on her right pinky, as does the 12 inch doll. I have not yet deboxed the LE doll, so I can't comment on the parts of the outfit behind her or under her skirt.
I will debox the doll soon, and post additional photos here, and expand my review.

Another post and run day. After staying up to watch the Superbowl I had a slightly delayed start this morning so now have to play a little catch up on my to-do list.

today, i had the plan to play volleyball at our usual park. what i did not plan on, was the ridiculous gusting winds and coldness. we ended up watching this horrific cg-filled mummy movie (which i slept through most of) and eating dumplings.
half of me already knew that i wasn't going to be very productive, so i lugged my camera out. it's awfully pretty outside right now...
