I know that I haven’t been around much these days - life has been keeping me pretty busy.  One of the things I’ve been working on is setting up an Etsy shop to sell the copper orchid pots that I am obsessed with making.  My shop is EarthenWire Studio and aside from listing the items I can make to order and the pots I make that I don’t have room to keep, I would be excited about designing custom pots for specific plants and planting conditions.  Most of all, I’m excited to finally be putting my hands to work again, and losing myself in the joy of turning one thing into another.
