One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it.
Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.

Furry Friends
Meet Ur, another one of Ela's rescue cats. Ur was found with one of his legs severely injured. He was taken to a vet, who amputated the injured leg and then asked Ela's family if they would adopt him. Of course they said yes!
Ur is a warm, friendly, cuddly cat, who enjoys every day of his life.

Nell Chandler
 "My jewelry is mostly sterling, and is embellished with precious and semi-precious stones, other metals, and mixed media. Sometimes I etch images in brass and copper, then solder those pieces to sterling, and color with a resin inlay. At times, I might color on polyshrink, a clear plastic that shrinks when heated, and set it in a bezel. Still other times, I solder a gold filled border onto my sterling and "paint" a picture that I then set with a color resin.
The theme of the narratives is often about relationships: friendships, partners, siblings. I also have symbols that to me are about reaching for your dreams with your whole self, about staying focused, about finding time for quiet time, about the opposites in our lives and many other things. I encourage people to see what is meaningful for them.
I love the part of my jewelry-making that comes from the same place that painting does. The process is an exciting exploration of "see what happens if". When I hold a piece in my hand, the satisfaction is knowing it came from my heart. It is love, joy, hope, understanding and empathy that I am trying to pass on through my work."
