Wonderful day today in the Santa Ynez Valley!  Spring is just around the corner.  It is lingering on the tips of my magnolia tree leaves in my backyard where I can sit and enjoy the sun and the mountain views. I always find my spring in nature. I am blessed with the abundance of nature all around me; the valley is really beautiful, especially in the spring when it's all green, and it feels like a place where I belong and where I can settle and flourish. As always in the spring I feel this anticipation of something new and fresh coming, something wonderful and mysterious. I feel inspired and very grateful for all of the small miracles that life is giving to me. I pray I continue seeing the beauty of life and grow as an artist and as a person. Speaking of art, or rather of my personal creations - I am planning to bring more fresh colors focusing now on spring and summer pallets and trends.  Say tuned, and don't forget to follow me on Instagram @MetalsmithedByOlga to see the process of creating new pieces (both pictures and videos).
Wishing you all a wonderful spring!
Much love,
Olga
