You ever hear music that really gives you cold chills? Makes you feel something in your chest you can't quite explain, gives you faith in the ability of man to create something truly beautiful? There have been a handful of artists who do this for me, and Dixon's Violin is one of them. I have been lucky enough to see him play live twice and await the next performance.

Experimental and improvisational electric violin? Yes please.

How inspiring!

I have been keeping myself busy making cold process soap. It is so much fun! I am making too much soap though so am making plans to start a little soap business. I'm going to rent a booth at a local market here that starts in May. I'm thrilled to finally put myself out there. I often think/dream about ways I can be self employed and then talk myself out of doing them. Not this time! I don't plan to make a lot of money, but it will be so enjoyable to share my creations with others and at least pay for the hobby.

I like to support local farmers and businesses. I use grass fed local milk and local organic oats in my milk/oat soaps. I use coffee from a local roaster who buys fair trade beans in my coffee soap.

Do you use natural soap? I've bought it for years but only recently started making it myself. The soap I make is by far the best soap I've used

I added some new earrings to my Etsy:

Stay warm!
Happy early Valentines Day

My hair is getting so long.

Have you heard of Rena Jones? I have a feeling you would like her music. Best wishes for your new soapmaking business!

^^Haha, I just went over to your profile and noticed you have her listed as one of your favorite artists. Ironic. It just made me think of her when you mentioned the experimental violin thing. Cheers.

I'm not the greatest fan of violin music, but the video you shared was really good. I was a fan of Vanessa Mae back in the early 90's, though she played more classical stuff, it was the first time I'd heard an electric violin before.
Good luck with the soap business, I think it's a great idea! People will always need soap, unless they want to smell really bad!
Loving your long hair, that's such a good look for you!

Nice. Sort of a western Raga. The problem with that soap is that it looks too much like food. I would try to eat it, and then be sorry. I hope you are as happy as you look in that picture!

I love the violin. My favorite composer is Nicolo Paganini. That is really some amazing music.

Have you listened to Happiness by Jonsi and Alex? Jonsi is the vocalist from Sigur Ros, Alex is his boyfriend and together, they do magic that song you posted did give me chills by the way!
