Four Lines
Within my reach I keep a flock
of words I shear like fleecy sheep.
Into the herd I search and seek,
plundering rhymes within my stock.

Four Lines
The lines the meaning floats beneath
temper rough wide thoughts into words.
I tend my words like a shepherd,
a flock I keep within my reach.

Daily Squiggle
Lynne:Â This is page from a notebook I kept while we were camping in the Indiana Dunes State Park. It’s not really a squiggle, but I find that I can draw better if I just get some approximate marks on the paper. It started out as a Kristin-sized squiggle then I smoothed the lines into a more realistic look.
It has been cold, here, and I have been too long from a warm sun. This drawing makes me warmer remembering a mile-long stretch of boardwalk through a green glade of swamp.

That lines two, three, one and four rhyme
seems strange and rather more like prose.
The constraints keep the meter close,
let meaning float beneath the lines.

Daily Squiggle
Lynne: This patchwork dog is an experiment in brown. I was playing with yellow and seeing what browns could be made with it when mixed with other colors. This is marker and colored pencil.
Natural Stone Pendants
Loryn: My favorite jewelry pieces are the ones that Kristin makes me. I especially love pendants, and she made me two beautiful pieces this year. Labradorite is one of my favorite stones, and the simple piece above has beautiful fire. I love her simple treatment of it. It’s shown on my omega chain.
This one is onyx and quartz that is side-drilled at the top. I oohed and aahed over this piece of stone while I was at her house a few months ago, and she didn’t let on that she was already planning a necklace for me! I love how she’s hung it from the bead necklace.
Here you can see the complete onyx necklace. I can wear it with just about anything!
Last year she gave me two great necklaces, too. The one above is red coral, and very dramatic.
Here is the complete coral necklace. I love the vintage vibe that it has.
This last one is a dark gray jasper on a beaded necklace. Another simple, elegant piece that I can wear any time!
