I've been conspicuously absent from the blog in the past two months. That's because the short film I wrote this summer finally came to fruition in mid October. So months of pre-production culminated in five days of filming. Although I got sick with a flu just days before our shoot began, I did manage to be present for the last day (which worked out well, since my scene was shot on that day). This short is a prequel, actually, to the feature that hubby wrote which we anticipate shooting next year. But now, we can breathe again—just in time for a busy holiday season. (Oh, did I mention post-production and editing?)
In addition to some pretty new Fall designs and a whole new crop of "New Moon" pendants (can't wait for November 20th!), I'll be creating a special
wolf design shortly. The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is a rescue sanctuary for wolves and wolf-hybrids here in New Mexico. We visited the sanctuary last Spring and it was beyond wonderful to be so close to such beautiful creatures. On Halloween, the Director of the Sanctuary came to our local library with Flurry, a beautiful Mexican Grey Wolf (who is actually mostly white).
I photographed him and will be making a special pendant featuring this beautiful boy. 10% of sales of this pendant will go to the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary.
In addition to rescuing wolves, the Sanctuary is starting a new program with some local folks to help the area's homeless and neglected dogs. There are two Reservations and many impoverished areas nearby in dire need of veterinary services, including spay/neuter, and bi-lingual education. If you can help, please contact the Sanctuary.
