Meet Melody...the Mannequin...

Today, a mannequin arrived in the mail. She's about 25" in height...and 18" wide and she's decoupaged in yellowing sheet music. The word "Melody" is imprinted just above her left shoulder.
Once here, I put her in the car...
riding next to me, mind you.
She has no head, but she's quite classy.
I drove to the park with new and old necklaces in hand.
We piled out of the car.
Melody the mannequin in one arm...necklaces and camera in the other.
There were some stares. But, alas...they didn't matter.
She's the perfect model. No griping. No sighing.
And absolutely free of charge.
My rustic, bold adornments look fabulous 'bout her neck.
Rustic and rich in the Colorado sun.
I even caught a glimpse of the "Indigo Rhino" in the shadows.
See if you can find him/her???

About Me

My photo
I've been on Mother Earth for 18,900 days (you'll have to do the math 'cause it tires me). I've lived here and there. Now, I'm settled for the moment in colorful Colorado in a beige home (not by choice) with my flyboy helicopter pilot and two Welsh corgis. I've been a writer all my life and now I've added beading and jewelry design to the mix. I'm a runner and a writer and a very bad cook. In fact, I've never made a batch of cookies. Can you believe I included that in my bio? And I've never read a Stephen King novel. Hmmmmm.

THE BEADING BLOGGER....


The woman who avoids cell phones (though I have an iPhone now), mindless chatter and LOUD noises. I always mute the TV during commercials. Now I'm chattering with others about my business and my little life.
Oh, my.
My shop is open on etsy.com...Indigo Rhino Designs at indigorhinodesigns.etsy.com.

BOLD adornments for the neck and wrist featuring tribal and vintage beads alongside newer ones.

Hmmm. Bold adornments for a girl who hates loud noises. Each piece has a delightful name and story. A story that I trust will blend beautifully and boldly with your own.
Wish me luck,
your little indigo rhino.

And more juicy details about my life to come...
