Today I was working with fresh-water pearls and a casting of GJ’s.
The finished piece from a few days ago; glass faux pearls, freshwater pearls, miscellaneous glass, crystal and metal pieces.
Eight-millimetre freshwater pearls, black agate, labradorite and a lead-free pewter male torso casting by GJ Pearson.
Today’s finished piece.
Trying out something new with pearls and other stones. The casting is by GJ.
Some sights from Victoria mid winter.
Some early cherry blossoms set off by the beautiful Union Club, downtown Victoria BC.
GJ’s Teds displayed on the piano.
Last year’s summer hydrangea weathered and muted by the autumn and winter, but still spectacular.
So many Pea Fowl. Not all the Cocks had their tail feathers fully grown, but they are still so beautiful.
Spent an afternoon recently at Vanity Fair on Fort Street. Cases and cases of extraordinary items to peruse. Hours of fun!
Our first crocus sighting of 2013.
Many shades of grey, Ross Bay.
Very lovely boulevard display of snowdrops and cones in the neighbourhood of Rockland.
I love to watch GJ work. How he translates what he imagines into an exquisite object or painting is astounding and never fails to delight me. Here’s a pic of a work in progress.
We’ve decided to open the studio to visitors one Saturday per month for the next few months. If you live in Victoria, or will be visiting, please drop by!
I’m always happy when GJ makes me something for our Etsy Shop. I always feel the shop is too heavy with my creations!
Lovely little skull and star drawing between glass and copper with wire embellishments.

Searching about our archives and found these two tiny paintings from 2010. Thought they would be great for our Etsy shop. Each is 3×5-inches.

Took the ladder and the new piece (See The World Without Leaving Home) over to Dales Gallery, a block from our home, on friday. It waits there to delight and inspire, and with any luck, will find a new home and someone else to love it! We’ll be posting a video of it in motion within the next few days.
From below; a long pull cord sets the piece in motion.
It looks so beautiful hanging at Dales, a gorgeous space.
Ship detail from below.
The moths to the flame.
Detail of the flying ship, upon which sits a tiny mansion.
The main body which houses the motors.
Detail of the globe.
It’s really coming together now! It will be a chandelier and so much more. I’m including here a better picture of the bit which started it all: the little air ship mansion in a walnut shell.
The main section is now hanging up to receive the next phase of work.
The globe portion in progress.
Flying ship.
