Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art

Spinel, Tourmaline

This is an odd photo for my blog. It’s a work of art, unusual gemstones in a unique pendant, hand made by me. In my first career, I was a goldsmith. For over 30 years, I created one-of-a-kind fine art jewelry in my gallery/studio, just after an early morning trip to work my horses at their boarding barn.

Then I had a monumental, death-defying mid-life crisis that landed me on this farm in 1999. It’s been the best thing; now I train horses and riders a combination of dressage and natural horsemanship full time. Each of my senses is required, consistency and spontaneity are the rule. My art is in collaboration with horses. It’s infinitely more creative work.

WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo- I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. This photo by Azad.

This blog is free, and it always will be. Free to read, but also free of ads because I turn away sponsorships and pay to keep ads off my site. I like to read a clean page and think you do too. If you appreciate the work I do, or if your horse does, consider making a donation.

  1. The pendant is beautiful… and so is what you do with horses and riders… the patience and understanding you put in to us is amazing!

  2. Did you give this work of art a name? (I spontaneously named it Two Souls, because I see a rider on a horse, with the gemstones representing their respective soul.)
