My youngest sister, who is an artist, gave us this little ceramic "studio god" many years ago. Rather than guarding our creative work areas, we put him in this empty space next to the back door of our house to watch over our entire residence.
Once upon a time, there was some kind of walkie-talkie by the front and back doors, but only the space remains. Locust leaves, caught in cobwebs, perfectly define this as an end of October moment.

My sister, Pat, currently makes beautiful silver jewelry based on medieval chain mail.
Your sister's jewelry is beautiful, and her story is very interesting. Did all of your siblings work in publishing? Do you all appreciate art so much?

KRISTIN — I never thought of it but 3 of the 4 of us did work in publishing. My favorite story about my sister Pat is the time at Rolling Stone when she looked up to greet whoever had come into the office and was rendered speechless. It was JFK, Jr. and Jesse Jackson!

I love the studio god and his perfect little niche. I really enjoyed Pat's jewelry and reading about her journey into becoming a special kind of jewelry maker.

The studio god is perfect for Halloween in his niche with cobwebs and leaves seemingly in suspended animation. Your sister's jewelry is incredible and the twists and turns in her career progression are inspiring.

The Brazill ladies are certainly talented women.
Love the ceramic talisman and Pat's lovely jewlery.
