Torin's Birds, Bits & Beads

Daughter of an ARTIST, an exceptional ARTIST who does not make art anymore. Hard to wrap my head around that part. I sit in my living room and think WTF these are good really good works mixed media drawings with ink pencil and pastel. She told me that she painted after she shattered every bone in her right hand.... it was the first piece she did after her hand healed 🤯💪👊 I did not know that. Now I do. how to honor her mad skills? Is a question on my mind today.

I am a person that saves stuff not a hoarder but a selective tiny object saver. Jewelry scale saver.... Big cat tie tack from Grandpa Richards found in Grandma Richards button basket .... turned into a charm. He has big teeth Run Bunny Run ... necklaces are fun & easy to wear
