<span style="font-kerning: none;">The diagnosis has been confirmed last september, I know now that I have an Ehlers Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (EDSh), this is a genetic pathology affecting the connective tissue in the whole body. It<span style="background-color: white; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> can be genetically inherited and is varied in how the faulty collagene affects the differents organs and joints even the heart. In my case, it is associated with hypermobility, that means stress on joints and muscles, joints dislocations, dystonia, migraines, dysautonomia and many others symptoms that can evolve during life. EDS causes chronic pain and great tiredness.</span> It can not be cured.</span></div>

Invitation au jardin<br />
<br />
Many thanks for the supporting messages I received for my last post. I haven't answered yet to all who very kindly wrote to me. I'll do it slowly with my left hand, thank you again for your support and understanding, it warms my heart and help me stand up and fight.<br />
I've decided to wrote a happier post, slowly, 10 minutes each day with pictures taken from my phone, all about my other passion in life : garden , and this time my own little one.<br />
So this year we didn't go away on summer holidays, we only took some day trips to Paris - but not the tourist kind : train station-hospital-train station (see my last post).<br />
The positive side of this is that we enjoyed our little garden during all through the summer. I say little garden : 50m2 to be precise.<br />
<br />
<i>Mille mercis pour les très gentils messages que j'ai reçus suite à mon dernier billet. Je n'ai pas encore répondu personnellement à tous.tes. Je suis en train de le faire lentement avec le peu d'énergie que j'ai et ma seule main gauche. Merci encore pour votre soutien, ça me touche et ça me porte!</i><br />
<i>J'ai décidé petit à petit, quelques minutes par jour sur une semaine, d'écrire un billet sur mon jardin, sujet plus joyeux que le dernier.</i><br />
<i>Donc, cet été nous ne sommes pas partis en vacances, je ne compte pas les allers-retours sur Paris (gare-taxi-hôpital-taxi-gare : voir mon dernier billet), le côté positif de cette situation c'est que nous avons pu pleinement profiter de notre petit jardin tout l'été. Quand je dis petit, c'est petit : 50m2</i><br />

Below is a picture of the garden as it were when we bought the house 12 years ago. As you can see there was concrete on a third of the surface, a straight line of rose bushes, a huge photinia, a privet tree and a sick ibiscus and a huge washing line.<br />
At first I didn't want a garden particularly, a small paved court would have done. I had no experience nor did I like gardening, the only potted plants I had all died of lack of care. But I am a botanist's daughter. My father designed a beautiful garden I grew up in and it was a place I loved to be, to sit and contemplate. And he told me of English gardens that inspired him which I discovered as an adult with much delight and which are now a passion.<br />
I designed and planted my garden throughout the years, through trials and errors, and I'm still learning. One thing I was sure of : I wanted a lush and luxuriant garden.<br />
<br />
<i>Ci-dessous une photo de 2005 montrant le jardin quand nous avons acheté la maison. Une belle dalle de béton, des poteaux soutenant deux fils à linge et côté végétation, il y avait en tout et pour tout une rangée de rosiers tiges malades, un ibiscus malade, un énorme photinia et un troêne.</i><br />
<i>Quand nous cherchions une maison, je ne voulais pas spécialement avoir un jardin, une cour m'aurait suffit. Je n'avais pas d'expérience ni de goût pour le jardinage. Mais je suis la fille d'un botaniste qui a créé un beau jardin dans lequel j'ai grandi. J'aimais beaucoup être dans ce jardin, m'y asseoir sans bouger pendant des heures à regarder et écouter. Et mon père m'a parlé des jardins anglais qui l'ont inspiré, que j'ai découverts bien plus tard et qui sont maintenant un de mes intérêts particuliers. </i><br />
<i>J'ai conçu mon jardin au fur et à mesure des années par empirisme, en commettant bien des erreurs. Une chose était évidente, je voulait un jardin luxuriant et "à l'anglaise".</i><br />

I find it very difficult to create and manage an island bed and arrange the different shrubs, annuals and perennials according to their shape, the volume they will take over the years...<br />
Here the thalictrum delavayii is 2 meters high and the blue sage is more huge year after year. It takes ceaseless changes, patience and learning. Some places are overcrowded and some others seem desolated...Some plants simply don't like the heavy clay soil and some others thrive in it and become bigger than expected. And my soil seems to produces beautiful foliages but very few flowers, only one peony this year and my achillea are all leaves! All alliums have died and also my beautiful eryngium too!<br />
I've raised the beds to improve and drain the soil and I do and use my own composting of dried leaves and vegetables peels. But I'm still not satisfied with it, but that's also the fun of it, to change and improve. I think it needs more white flowers like white cosmos for example.<br />
<br />
<i>J'ai du mal à trouver un équilibre dans l'arrangement du parterre central entre les annuelles, les vivaces, les feuillages persistants, celles qui doublent en volume d'une année sur l'autre. Dans ce parterre le thalictrum delavayii atteint 2m de haut et la sauge bleue fait 1,50 de diamètre! Du coup ça se bouscule un peu à certains endroits et d'autres apparaissent un peu perdus. Et puis certaines plantes n'ont pas aimé le sol argileux et d'autres adorent et deviennent bien plus importantes que prévu. Ma terre semble produire de beaux feuillage mais bien peu de fleurs... Une seule pivoine cette année et mes achillées ne font que des feuilles! Mes allium décoratif sont morts ainsi que mon beau chardon bleu (eryngium)</i><br />
<i>J'ai surelevé le parterre pour améliorer le drainage et pour améliorer le sol j'utilise le terreau que je récupère de mon composteur. Bon, je ne suis toujours pas satisfaite, il manque du blanc, des cosmos par exemple.</i><br />

Right in the center is a small pond made out from an upcycled antique washing basin found in the house with a thalia dealbata with its huge beautiful leaves, a papyrus and an equisetum, on the right : a nepeta, a leptospernum and the sambucus nigra. This year, the sambucus is about 4 meters high! but it gave no flower, what a pity, maybe I pruned it a little too late in the winter?</div>

The red grapevine has produced alot of fruit this year one blackbird has spotted them! At first, I thought, well as they are many I don't mind to share, but this one tasted each grape, so the flies came and settled in and then hornets came at the party!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next year, I will protect them, it won't be very beautiful but at least we'll have grapes and no flies or hornets!</div>

Some news</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
You've probably noticed my absence from my blog and the lack of new pieces.</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
For some months now, I've been checking the idiom that says ”when it rains, it pours”.</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
Last October, I bruised my right foot while simply walking (sesamoidopathy). For those who knew me, they know how much important it is for me to walk every day. It helps to balance my inner self.</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
In March I bruised my right hand again while simply opening a plastic food container (obviously my two years old injury wasn't properly healed). And these two injuries are coming in between periods of waiting for some medical tests and exams to be done in order to diagnose what is behind the pattern. I'm still not finished with those tests and let's say it's not a serene period, to say the least.</div>

After a wordpress adventure, I’ve decided to come back to blogger. My website on wordpress was beautiful but there were some problems of maintenance and also because I didn't recognise myself anymore in this new site.</div>

Since July I've taken a new path. I knew it would be long and difficult and I'm not being deceived. To make it short, till now, I had thought that I could change, that I could learn to be a different person than myself. My mistake. I mistook change for improvement, or is it the reverse? You know these simple aphorisms and little humoristic sentences that you can find on your Facebook wall? I remember having read one that went home sometime later ”Be yourself, everybody else is taken”. So now, for several months, I’m walking along this difficult path of being myself. It’s a struggle, it’s painful, sometime I’m desperate but it’s the only way and I’m determined to go on. </div>

I don't know how to deal with the frustration not being able to work. For fear of the pain, I'm stiff ... and it triggers the pain. It's driving me insane.<br />
Away from the house and the studio, not having to face the frustration every day, will do me good.</div>

Time to switch on the vacation mode and let my hand heal : beachcombing, walking on the sea shore, reading – a lot -, daydreaming…. I’m trying -again- to learn Spanish, my grand-mother’s language. This forbidden language has set many locks somewhere… But I think this time is the right one, I’ve tried a very good audio methode, I’m hooked. I still don’t know how to prononce the RRRR, which vex me a great deal but I’m hopeful.</div>

Do you remember these ones? I received them in the mail and wrote a post about the artisan porcelain beads which the amazing Petra makes.<br />
A very good customer of mine saw the post and told me, "when you make something with the blue ones, I'd like to see them".<br />
I then remembered that about one year ago I made a pair of earrings that sold immediately and the same customer told me that she had seen them but someone else has been faster...<br />
<br />
<i>Vous rappelez vous ces éléments en porcelaine bleue? J'avais écrit un billet lorsque je les ai reçus par la poste avec d'autres perles splendides artisanalement fabriquées par la talentueuse Petra Carpreau.</i><br />
<i>Une très bonne cliente a lu ce billet et m'a interpelée : "je veux bien voir ce </i><i>que vous ferez avec les bleues </i><i>". Je me suis alors souvenue qu'il y a un an elle m'avait dit avoir eu l'oeil sur une paire de boucles d'oreille mais que quelqu'un d'autre avait été plus rapide...</i><br />

Fortunately I had more of these intricate antique silver plated components. And I was able to use my jeweler saw again so I handsawn these irregular flowers out of brass. Then some filing and sanding.<br />
<br />
<i>Par chance il me restait de ces éléments en argent plaqués </i><i>anciens et </i><i>très détaillés. Et comme l'état de mes mains me permettaient d'utiliser à nouveau ma scie de bijoutier, j'ai pu dessiner et découper ces fleurs irrégulières en laiton.

Here they are. Only cold connections : brass rivets and wire wrapping but I admit I must do less of these cold connections, they're too demanding for my hands just now.<br />

I've been asked by a bride-to-be to make some earrings to match my golden flowers hairpins, surprisingly Emilie was the first customer to ask and I had never thought about making matching earrings! So I was very interested by her request.<br />
<br />
<i>J'ai été contactée par une future mariée pour réaliser des boucles d'oreille assorties à des épingles à chignon fleurs. Curieusement Emilie est la première à me faire cette demande et je n'y avais moi-même jamais pensé! C'était donc une commande très intéressante.</i><br />

I've used some vintage prongs settings for the heart made of red brass that I've soldered into the vintage brass flowers for the heart and then set some antique French mother of pearl cabochons. The difficulty was to solder the setting without altering the beautiful golden tone of the vintage flowers. I made tests and did damage two flowers before finding the best technique to do it.<br />
<br />
That's the thing when working with vintage parts, you don't have the materials listed by the supplier! So it's always a surprise and more often I don't dare make any tests because I only have one or two pieces in stock.<br />

<i>J'ai utilisé d'anciens sertis à griffes en laiton rouge pour le coeur des fleurs anciennes en laiton, et de petits cabochons anciens en nacre.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>La difficulté résidait dans la fixation des sertis sur la fleur car je ne voulais surtout pas abîmer cette jolie teinte dorée du laiton ancien. J'ai donc fait des tests de soudure differents et "gâché" deux fleurs avant de trouver la bonne technique. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>C'est le challenge de travailler avec des éléments anciens, je ne dispose pas de la composition établie par le fournisseur! Et le plus souvent, je n'ai que quelques exemplaires, voire un ou deux, et donc je ne peux pas me permettre de faire différents tests...</i><br />

For the first time I went to the annual Ceramic Market located in a magic place : on the grounds of the Ranrouët Castle. Sorry for the pictures, my hands are still too weak to hold my camera, I took a picture with my phone but I can't manage to import it here from <a href="http://www.instagram.com/LucieTales" target="_blank">Instagram</a>... so, that's it. It's a 13th century castle located near Guérande, South Brittany (FR), a 40 minutes drive from St Nazaire. <a href="http://www.cap-atlantique.fr/rubrique/ch%C3%A2teau-de-ranrou%C3%ABt" target="_blank">More infos here.</a><br />
<br />
<i>Enfin je suis allée voir le fameux Marché des Potiers au Château de Ranroüet! Il a lieu tous les ans dans cet endroit magique que je ne connaissais pas, j'avoue. Bon, toujours pas de photos, l'appareil est trop lourd pour mes mains et je ne suis pas paarvenue à importer la photo que j'avais prise avec mon téléphone et publiée sur <a href="http://www.instagram.com/LucieTales" target="_blank">Instagram</a>....</i><br />
<i>J'y suis allée avec la vraie personne, talentueuse tricoteuse et crocheteuse, derrière le blog Quand MaRgoT que j'ai rencontrée en vrai il y a peu car nous avons découvert avec surprise que nous habitions non seulement dans la même ville mais à 5 minutes de marche l'une de l'autre. Cela doit faire trois fois que nous nous voyons et j'ai l'impression de la connaître depuis longtemps, c'est ça la magie des blogs!</i><br />
<br />
I went there with the person behind <a href="http://quandmargot.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Quand MaRgoT</a>, an amazing knitter, we met via our respective blogs and surprise, we're living in the same town at less than 5 minutes walk from each other!! We met in person for the first time a few days ago... talking together and it's like we've known each other for long! A beautiful meeting.<br />
<br />
This year the talented ceramist <a href="http://www.benedicte-vallet.odexpo.com/pro_page.asp?page=9047&lg=" target="_blank">Benedicte Vallet</a> was invited and as I'm a inconditional fan of her work, I had to go. I saw first her work one year ago in Nantes and I bought one of her small piece of which I shared pictures <a href="http://lucietales.blogspot.fr/2014/04/creative-space-travaux-en-cours-today.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The tiny pieces are porcelain, mat and textured and interweaved with flax cord. It's an amazing scultpure.<br />

<i>Cette année, une des céramistes invités était <a href="http://www.benedicte-vallet.odexpo.com/pro_page.asp?page=9047&lg=" target="_blank">Bénédicte Vallet</a>, j'avais vu son travail pour la première fois au Salon des Métiers d'art à Nantes puis à la Galerie Montesquieu.

Ses pièces sont toujours aussi impressionnantes. Elle travaille la porcelaine, la texture, la tisse avec du chanvre ou du lin pour en faire des sculptures-installations. Des pièces entre la parure de l'homme-médecine et le coquillage, splendides.</i><br />

We discovered the beautiful work of <a href="http://www.lesateliersceramique.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Wagenaar</a>, she mixes artfully ceramic and metal. It's both minimalist and and poetic.<br />
Nous avons découvert le travail de <a href="http://www.lesateliersceramique.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Wagenaar</a>, elle associe ses céramiques blanches au métal, riveté, plié qui vient compléter, habiller. Les oeuvres sont à la fois minimales et poétiques.<br />
<br />
and we both fell for the work of <a href="http://mariemichelehamon.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Marie-Michèle Hamon</a>, treating ourselves with some small cups. Here is the one I bought. She told us that she'd like her porcelain to look like paper and for me it is an evocative drawing in which I'm drinking now my tea, its graphic lines and colors taking me straight to the fisherman cabins I so love.<br />

In these days, I happen to stumble upon more and more assemblage jewelry made from mass produced goods imported from the other side of the globe, jewelry all looking the same and sold at not cheap prices. Even the so called shops offering selected art jewelry are filled with these... It saddens me. So today I'm celebrating artisan made supplies handmade by <a href="http://www.scorchedearthonetsy.com/" target="_blank">Petra Carpreau</a>!

<i>Ces derniers temps je vois de plus en plus de bijoux réalisés à partir d'éléments assemblés, éléments produits en masse et importés de l'autre côté de la planète. Tous ces bijoux se ressemblent et sont vendus à des prix élevés. Même les boutiques soit disant de créateurs en sont remplies. Cela me rend triste. Du coup, je réagis en vous montrant de très près le travail d'une céramiste artisanale avec laquelle je travaille déjà depuis quelques temps : <a href="http://www.scorchedearthonetsy.com/" target="_blank">Petra Carpreau</a> (Royaume Uni).

On my path to find the perfect solder for brass and copper soldering, some fellows jewellers advised me to try the copper + phosphorus solder (thank you Alex and Natalka). So I tried and this solder doesn't flow like the silver solder for example. While testing it, I realized that I sometimes obtained a little dot of solder remaining (when I used too much solder)... first a nuisance because this solder is hard to file and remove, but.... this dot could be interesting! A new design was born for the Nacre Cuivrée collection : some irregular circles made of copper wire and vintage brass prong settings soldered asymmetrically. To complete the design : some antique mother of pearl French cabochons.</div>

<i>Dans ma quête de l'apport parfait pour mes soudures cuivre / laiton, des créatrices m'ont conseillée d'essayer la brasure cuivre+phosphore (merci à Alex et Natalka). En testant je me suis rendue compte que cet apport ne file pas comme l'apport d'argent par exemple, voire même à tendance à former de petits paquets surtout si trop d'apport est utilisé. Au début, c'est un problème car l'alliage cuivre/phosphore est plus résistant que le cuivre, puis ça devient intéressant : des petites boules qui peuvent faire partie de la composition! Et voilà comment sont nées ces boucles d'oreille de la collection Nacre Cuivrée. Des cercles concentriques en fil de cuivre, d'anciens sertis à griffes en laiton que j'ai soudé de façon asymétrique et pour compléter des cabochons anciens en nacre.</i></div>

From vintage scrolls I designed these curlicues shapes inspired by the technique of the talented metalsmith <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DiPiazzaMetalworks" target="_blank">Tracy DiPiazza</a> of whom I admire the work. I added the antique copper lustre ceramic bobbles by Petra Carpreau of course!<br />

All these pictures were taken by Mr. Tales as I still can't hold my regular camera.<br />

I have good news to share!!! No degenerative arthrosis as I have been diagnosed in february by a specialist : it proved it was tendinitis and they're now healed.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This muscle fatigue may bother me for some months and doctor says it might even take one year to regain my dexterity. But hey, I've got fingers again!!!! Okay, it feels like I've enormous soft hands not able to hold a bead but it will come back, just like the spring is coming back :D</div>

J'ai de bonnes nouvelles!!! Finalement pas d'arthrose dégénérative comme me l'avait diagnostiqué un rhumatologue en février... mais il s'agissait bien de tendinites qui sont désormais guéries. Les douleurs restantes sont dûes à une grosse fatigue musculaire. Ouf!!! Je n'aurai pas à vendre mes outils!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cette fatigue musculaire peut durer des mois et le médecin parle d'un délai important (voire un an) pour récupérer ma dextérité. Mais je retrouve mes mains!!!! Bon d'accord, j'ai l'impression d'avoir les mains toutes molles et démesurées, d'une maladresse incroyable, même pas capable de tenir une perle mais bon, ça va revenir!!! Tout comme le printemps!!! :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Je tiens à remercier particulièrement tous celles et ceux qui m'ont envoyé des messages perso très encourageants et chaleureux. Je suis désolée de n'avoir pas pu répondre correctement mais le clavier est et reste la pire chose pour mes mains. Sachez que vos messages m'ont permis de tenir le coup!</div>

Meanwhile a total rest of my hands is needed. I admit I have difficulty to cope with my frustration... My legs are my allies so I walk on the seashore to calm me down. The only camera I can use is my old Iphone 3gs which allows me to take some pictures and I finally created an Instagram account : </span><br />

En attendant on me conseille le repos total des mains, ce qui je l'avoue engendre beaucoup de frustration que j'ai bien du mal à gérer... Heureusement je peux marcher et je ne m'en prive pas. Le seul appareil photo que je peux manipuler est mon Iphone qui fait ma fois des photos passables... du coup je me suis créé un compte Instagram pour ceux que ça intéressent.</span></span><br />

The delightful Ruth from <a href="http://www.rubanesque.com/" target="_blank">Rubanesque</a> had contacted me earlier in the fall for an interview to be published in a series of portraits on her blog.<br />
<a href="http://thefrenchmuse.com/les-petits-bonheurs-lucie-tales/">Here is the interview : http://thefrenchmuse.com/les-petits-bonheurs-lucie-tales/</a><br />
Ruth also has a boutique on Etsy where she sells some <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/exquisitethreads" target="_blank">Exquisite Threads</a> and makes some delightful <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/rubanesque" target="_blank">jewelry</a> from a wonderful vintage collection of ribbons and other textiles.<br />
<br />
La très charmante Ruth de <a href="http://www.rubanesque.com/" target="_blank">Rubanesque</a> m'a contacté plus tôt dans l'automne pour répondre à quelques questions.

Don't scroll down, there isn't any new pictures of earrings or jewelry nor pictures of the installation going on in my studio because I haven't been able to do anything with my hands for now two weeks. The heavy work on the studio awakened an old tendinitis of my good hand. As most people I've been blessed with two hands so I stopped using the injured hand and used the other one instead. Well I hurt the other one as well... So now all I have to do is ... nothing! Better said than done. And of course, these days being the most busy days of the year... Okay, I'll stop now and give you rendez-vous later, let's say next year!<br />
p.s. the shop isn't empty yet, but soon will be, all items listed are ready to ship (with the precious help of , not the reindeer, but M. Tales)<br />
<br />
Ce n'est pas la peine de descendre plus bas, il n'y a pas d'autres photos ni be nouveau bijoux ni de l'avancée de l'aménagement du nouvel atelier tout simplement parce que depuis 15 jours je ne peux rien faire de mes mains. J'ai réveillé une vieille tendinite de la pince pouce index de ma main droite. Etant dotée de deux mains, j'ai donc utilisée l'autre main et rebelote, tendinite aussi!Je suis donc en repos forcé en cette période habituellement d'activité dense. Le mieux à faire est de ne rien faire, ha! Plus facile à dire ...qu'à faire! Haha! Okay, je m'arrête donc et je vous donne rendez-vous plus tard, disons l'année prochaine !<br />
p.s. : ma boutique n'est pas encore totalement vide mais va bientôt l'être, toutes les pièces sont prêtes à être envoyées (avec l'aide précieuse de, non pas les lutins ni l'assistant du Père Noël, mais de M.Tales)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792602175396308678.post-69179659542763575792014-11-12T18:15:00.000+01:002014-11-30T20:40:21.419+01:00A black door... and a grey cat<br />
