The Moment is Now

I spend so much time thinking about what next that I often don't notice what I am doing at the moment. I am working on relaxing my mind so I can be open to the flow. Seems like when I am creating something the hours in my studio fly by.

My creative process, great learning resources, and ways to help the planet by repurposing are the theme of this blog. You are about to enter "the world according to Jan." Hope you find it a-musing.

Support Recycle Artist and help Save our Planet

There are lots of artists out in the Etsy and Artfire community that are making incredible art out of recycled materials.  Many of you may have noticed that Gaia is upset with us right now.  We can no longer strip her of oil and her resources for our own greed.  Like all mothers, she will eventual discipline us when our behavior has gotten out of control. 

I put together a couple of collections to show what can be accomplished with recycling.  I have been staying away from gem fairs and have been using beach rocks, tin and recycled copper for the making of my jewelry. Click on the following to check out the collections I put together to show you what I am talking about.
